Trichocereus Growers Unite! 15

well we have had much success with the Lophophora Growers Unite that I thought I should give the next best genus in the cacti family a thread of its own.
it all started with my search for enlightenment. it started with peyote. I knew it would grow but I never knew to what extent.
hundreds of dollars later and my collection grows.
so go ahead people post up. I cant be the only columnar lover here.
This is gonna be where Trichocereus Growers Unite!

And who better to start it off than the one who made the Loph thread. I'll get some pics up soon.

Those are my icaro torches. They are the most beautiful blue sight to behold.
The fat one is very similar to the one on Julio's website that has a cap and sunglasses. Very blue and very large.
Here is a pic before the stump rotted.
That piece is fully rooted with a log that is in ground. They are truly remarkable specimens.

A few from my backyard, Crested Pedro, Regular Pedro, one Bridgesii, and the torch youngsters. Not in that order....
Also my desert colony of San Pedro that has been sustained for many years now. My first originally started from one cutting.

That last one you posted is a very sexy peruvianus RavensEye.
Here's some quick pics of a few of mine. Mostly newly acquired cuttings or small plants. Still need to move my larger(5ft) columns into my new residence:
T. peruvianus ROSEII #1
T.pachanoi YOWIE
T. peruvianus
T.bridgesii EILEEN
T.scopulicola HULK
T.macrogonus
Grafted T.peruvianus X
HB01
HB02
Semi monstrose T.bridgesii
3 year old bridgesii's:
Box o' bridgesii
Random something I was gifted that I haven't id'd yet. Is it a pach? A peruvian?! Let's just call it a mutt and be done with it. Arggh!!(jk)
Given to me as T.peruvianus but really a T.cuzcoensis. I had a feeling it was and when I last met with the grower he whispered in my ear that he thought the same.
A cool little bridgesii beast. This one bites visitors on the knees.

Posting to subscribe, my pedros aren't really too photogenic though. Awesome pics in here in any case.
