Jeans (Trichocereus bridgesii)

This interesting plant is a Trichocereus bridgesii clone that was originally sourced by the Australian SAB member Sir Jeans, who gave this clone to a handful of people. By sharing this clone over the course of various years, it was distributed into the collections of many people.

This picture was posted by Sir Jeans in 2012. It shows his original mother plant, which looks like a very spiny plant that almost looks like a Tr. cuzcoensis. Copyright: Sir Jeans

Definitely an interesting plant with long spines and a very glaucous Epidermis.  It´s not really completely untypical for a Tr. bridgesii, but it´s definitely one of the most impressive ones out there!

Psycho0 - Trichocereus Bridgesii

Psycho0 – Trichocereus Bridgesii

The clone PSYCHO0 (spoken: psychonaut) is a clone that was dedicated to the same-named SAB member, who unfortunately died at a very young age. It has always been a very popular clone that was given to many members on SAB. It´s a clone that became very common amongst the Cactus community and I am very happy that it is responsible for people remembering him ever since. Almost every year, people make a posting on his birthday to remember him.

The PSYCHO0 is a Trichocereus Bridgesii with long, strong spines that are yellow in color. The plants usually have three very strong spines, that look pretty unique, though it can sometimes look like a more typical Trichocereus Bridgesii.

Where to buy seeds or plants: The Psycho0 and it´s hybrids are mostly available through Australian collectors, though some of them rarely show up on platforms like Ebay. Whenever they do, prices can go very high and it´s definitely one of the most sought after clones around. Several breeders offer crosses with the Psycho0 every year through the SAB homepage or the Trichocereus Facebook group. If you are after this plant, you can make a posting in the group and depending on your location and the import conditions, someone usually has some available.
