SS01 (Trichocereus peruvianus)

SS01 (Trichocereus peruvianus)

The SS01 clone was brought into cultivation by Sacred Succulents. It is one of their oldest clones, going back many years and the number of hybrids that involves it is really high. It actually is a very blue Trichocereus that would usually be called Tr. peruvianus or Tr. macrogonus outside the SS nursery. The origin of this plant is unknown, but because of Sacred Succulent´s constant work with this clone, it is widely distributed.

Here is an excerpt from the Sacred Succulents description of SS01:

SS01 (Trichocereus peruvianus or Trichocereus macrogonus)

Columnar cactus up to 8´+ tall. Fat blue-green stems up to 6″ in diameter and 2″+ spines. Huge white nocturnal flowers. Can grow very fast; up to several feet a year. Tends to grow prostrate with age. We believe this to be a clone of either Trichocereus macrogonus or Trichocereus peruvianus. Cold hardy to 25° Fahrenheit. 

My personal impression of this plant is that it is one of the plants that were originally sold by Karel Knize. Those were really common at the time this clone showed up and I would not be surprised if it was one of them.

Sacred Succulents used this clone to create many hybrids, such as SS01 x Tr. pachanoi, SS01 x BBG, SS01 x Tom Juul´s Giant, SS01 x SS02 and many more. If you want to buy some seeds or cuttings of Trichocereus SS01, check out the Sacred Succulents website.

Those photos show the SS01 clone and are not hybrids. I will have a huge number of SS01 hybrid pics in my upcoming book SAN PEDRO HYBRIDS, which will be out in 2017.

Omar (Trichocereus)

Omar (Trichocereus / Echinopsis)

Omar is a Trichocereus clone from Australia.

OMAR is a Trichocereus pachanoi clone that was most likely brought into circlulation by the former SAB members REV or Gomaos. The plant was also offered by the SAB shop, where it was sold alongside a similar hybrid called ALF. That leaves room for speculation and it´s possible that both plants (OMAR & ALF) were grown from the same seed pod or at least, were representatives of the same regional type. I personally have trouble looking at OMAR without seen anything but the well known PC Pachanoi „clone“, which is probably Friedrich  Ritter´s TRICHOCEREUS RIOMIZQUENSIS from Bolivia. This PC (short for predominate cultivar, as it is the most common type of Pachanoi throughout North America) is widely distributed all over Australia as well.

OMAR has the same yellowish look that almost all Tr. riomizquensis had in common. Besides, the areoles and the small stump spines are really typical. And on top of that, it has the same type of flower.

Again, I did not have the chance to observe this plant over the course of a few years, but what I´ve seen on some of the pics looks a lot like the predominate cultivar.

Jeans (Trichocereus bridgesii)

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!

Chemical Shaman´s D*ck (Trichocereus bridgesii)

Chemical Shaman´s D*ck (Trichocereus bridgesii) (UPDATE DEC 2015)

NO, that is not supposed to read „DUCK“. 😉

Chemical Shamans D*ck aka CSD is a new Clone that was introduced by SAB Member Ferret, who brought it into circulation in honor of the Member Chemical Shaman, who unfortunately passed away.

According to Ferret, the Clone was grown from a batch of Trichocereus bridgesii Seed, which were provided by the NOOK Member BEEKER.

The Clones Characteristics are a very stunted, almost monstrous Look with a very unique Spination, which is very unlike other Trichocereus bridgesii. Besides, if seen from above, the Plant has a Look that reminds of a Lophophora williamsii, which is WAY COOl!

At this point, we couldn´t observe a flower yet, but will certainly add Flower Pics as soon as we get some.

The copyright on all those pics belongs to SAM, who donated those pics for the database!

Lumberjack (Trichocereus bridgesii)

Lumberjack (Trichocereus bridgesii)

Pics: NITROGEN

The LUMBERJACK clone or LUMBERJACKUS is a rare and sought after Trichocereus hybrid. Its actually a Trichocereus bridgesii with very distinct and distinct traits. It has a very typical double-pair spination and usually grows into a very fat plant that flowers abundantly.

The plant was originally found in a Lumberjack store in Sacramento, California. It is believed to be a hybrid between Trichocereus bridgesii and Trichocereus peruvianus. But it´s also possible that this is actually a pure botanical Trichocereus bridgesii, without any other species involved. Plants in nature can look quite distinctly and unfortunately it´s not possible to guess the parents of a certain plant.

The LUMBERJACK clone is really rare and the only grower I know of that is selling seed or cuttings is misplant, who uses his mother plant to make multiple crosses per year.

The plant should be treated just like every other Trichocereus bridgesii and is a very hardy plant.

YOWIE (Trichocereus Pachanoi)

YOWIE (Trichocereus Pachanoi) – Named Clone Database

Yowie is a very cool and popular Trichocereus Pachanoi with a unique Spination that consists of two parallel Spines per Areole. It also has very pronounced ribs and looks very much like an Ecuadorian Pachanoi. Now let me add some information about where this clone came from.

The Yowie clone originated in Yarrawonga Victoria. The SAB member Marsha (who was previously known by the username „Yowie“ led PD to the property where the mother plant of this clone grew. This clone is also part of the Fields collection, where many amazing clones came from. The clone is easily recognized by the pair of spines, that makes it very different from other Pachanois. However, similar plants can be found all across Australia (and the world), so it´s not really sure if Yowie is actually a clone or just represents a local type. I know similar (and almost identical) Pachanois, especially from Ecuador and it may be very well possible that they are not genetically identical to the Yowie clone. If you encounter similar plants, you can just test it by trying to breed it with a verified Yowie. If you are not sure about the ID of your plant, feel free to post in on SAB or our Trichocereus Facebook Group!

Where to buy Yowie seeds or plants?: This clone is really rare and only shows up every now and then on sales in the SAB forum or our Facebook group. I am currently not aware of any breeders that actively breed with it though there are some cuttings available every now and then. Those hybrids originated in Australia (which has very strict import and export laws), what makes them very rare throughout other parts of the world. For everyone who owns or is looking for some Yowies, I would recommend making a posting in the group or the SAB forum.
