Trichocereus sp. 'Ohlone'

Please visit CactusAffinity.com for the current version of this website.

I got this plant around 2001 from a collector in Fremont, CA who planted all the cactuses at Ohlone College. He didn't tell me what he called it, so I gave it the label T. peruvianus 'Ohlone' back then in order to identify it in my collection.

Trichocereus peruvianus short spine

I got this plant from California Cactus Center around 2001. CCC just called it T. peruvianus, but it soon acquired the nickname T. peruvianus short spine and was spread widely under that name. It's now generally thought of as a form of T. pachanoi, but I'm sticking with the original name I got it as.

Trichocereus peruvianus short spine monstrose

Please visit CactusAffinity.com for the current version of this website.

I got these around 2001 from California Cactus Center in Southern California. Most people now consider this to be a form of T. pachanoi, but I like to stick with the old name of T. peruvianus short spine monstrose. As you can see on the column in the back, after several years quite long spines can develop on the old growth. 

The plant is also capable of amazing cristate growth, as seen below. There's less than two years between when I first noticed the column turning cristate on 5/15/12 and when I took the selfie below on 4/25/14. That cristate column also grew from 2.5' to 6' over those two years!

Trichocereus peruvianus JS350

A nice T. peruvianus I got from a guy in Sacramento. These are flowering size plants, so any cuttings you get have a chance of flowering for you before they start focusing on growth again. I've given it the label T. peruvianus JS350 to differentiate it in my collection.

Trichocereus peruvianus 'Poots'

These are a beautiful blue peruvianus from Poot's House of Cactus.
(I've previously labeled this as JS209.)

Trichocereus peruvianus sp. puqiensis

Please visit CactusAffinity.com for the current version of this website.

I picked up a few T. peruvianus sp puquiensis from the Berkeley Botanical Garden recently. They refer to these as "San Pedro Macho." Their database shows two plants with this name -  one collected by Paul Hutchison on 9/10/57 in Ayacucho, Lucanas, Peru, and one collected by Hutchison 9/12/57 in Ayacucho, Parinacocha, Peru. I don't know which this is...

Trichocereus peruvianus RS000x

Trichocereus peruvianus RS000x from Kakster. He had named an RS0001, RS0002, and RS0003. The label fell off this one, hence the RS000x.

Not currently available.

Trichocereus peruvianus JS64

This one came from a local nursery as T. peruvianus. Has some characteristics of a cuzcoensis though.

Trichocereus sp. Lumberjackius

Please visit CactusAffinity.com for the current version of this website.

Referred to as Lumberjackius, Lumberjackus, or just Lumberjack, these are beautiful plants with great color. I got my plants around 2003 straight from the guy who found them unlabeled at a Lumberjack hardware store near Sacramento, CA and came up with the fake latin name "Lumberjackius."

Trichocereus peruvianus JS08

Please visit CactusAffinity.com for the current version of this website.

Another one I bought from Sacred Succulents in 2001 labeled as T. peruvianus. I've given it the label JS08 to track it in my collection. A very pretty plant. Distinctive and easily picked out from the crowds.

$2.50 an inch.
