Trichocereus huanucoensis

Trichocereus huanucoensis
The first occurrence of Trichocereus huanucoensis goes back to a nursery owner called Harry Johnson senior, who brought this plant into the USA in the 1950s. Unlike popular belief, Trichocereus huanucoensis is NOT an official species. There is no official description an...

The PC Trichocereus clone- What the heck?

The PC Trichocereus clone- What the heck?
I wanted to clarify some things about the PC Trichocereus clone. What it is, where it probably is from and what it isnt. The name is probably the most overused name in the history of Trichocereus culture. I personally hate it and spent days discussing...

NL52509a Trichocereus, Potosi, Bolivia

NL52509a Trichocereus is a cool and rare Trichocereus species from Potosi in Bolivia. Sacred Succulents Field Trip 2009! Copyright Neil Logan & Sacredsucculents.com!

As far as i know, this one was suspected to be Trichocereus validus. Personally, i think it is Trichocereus tacaquirensis but it´s hard to say just judging by those two pictures. Both plants are definitely similar and if you are interested in seeds of Trichocereus tacaquirensis, check out the new seeds I have in stock!

The plants we grew from those seeds looked 100% like a plant from the Tr. taquimbalensis group and it´s a common thing that plants related to Trichocereus taquimbalensis are labeled as Trichocereus validus. That is because Trichocereus validus probably came from Bolivia and both are probably very similar at an older age. At a younger age, that is definitely not the case.

Trichocereus Parque de las Leyendas. Peru

Trichocereus in Parque de las Leyendas. Peru

Trichocereus Parque de las Leyendas:

The Parque de las Leyendas is located in the San Miguel district of Lima and was founded as the first Zoo of Peru. Peru is one of the most biologically diverse countries in the world and the park is home to countless amazing plants and creatures, including some interesting Trichocereus species.

There are many cool Trichocereus in the Parque de las Leyendas in Peru. Ben Kamm and his friends from Sacredsucculents.com visited the park during various field trips, collected some seeds and made some photos. Here are some of the pics:

BK08611.5 Trichocereus Parque de las Leyendas, Lima, Peru

Another Trichocereus Pachanoi from the PARQUE DE LAS LEYENDAS in Lima Peru! Same Location, different Plant.





And this is a plant that was grown from the Sacred Succulents Field Trip seed. Copyright: Stillman.

The very long spines are really interesting because they are nothing like the almost spineless appearance of the mother plant. Nonetheless, it´s actually quite common for old plants to be pretty spineless. It´s also interesting because the plant has very few ribs and a large distance between the areoles.



Where to buy seeds or plants of the BK08611.5?: Well, the plant was visited during a field trip and Sacred Succulents sold seeds coming from that plant for a while. So far, the plant shown in the picture above is the only plant I saw so far and it´s definitely very spiny if you compare it with the almost spineless mother plant. Every now and then, someone (mostly from the USA & Australia) is giving away a cutting of this type in our Trichocereus Facebook group, because there were quite a few people who were able to get their hands on seeds. If you are looking for this type, I´d recommend you to send a message to Sacredsucculents.com, because it´s possible they still have some available. Apart from that, you need a lot of luck to find one of them on the open market. But even if you shouldn’t manage to get one, you can get a Trichocereus cordobensis/Super Pedro, which is a very similar type that´s known from Australia. I sometimes have seeds available and if you are interested in getting some, let me know.

As far as I know, Ben also visited those Trichocereus pachanois during the 2014 Field Trip! So in case you bought some Pachanoi seeds starting with BK14, it´s very possible those are the mother plants!
