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!

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.

Thanks hah I thought it was a pregnant squirrel but I never really got a good look at its back/tail. It took off under a neighbors fence one day with at least 4 little guys scurrying behind it. I hope they made it to the hills It had a huge stash of apricot seeds underneath my shed!
@ostridge: That is an amazing squirrel companion you have there . I used to be able to feed them by hand at my grandpas house but that's a whole nother level!

I only have tiny baby (~1 month old) Pachanoi and Peruvianus right now, as well as a couple of (hopefully rooting) foot-long Pachanoi cuttings.

 I don't know anything about cactus, so I have no idea what this lump is. Is it a tumor? Does my cactus have cancer? Is my cactus eligible for a medical marijuana card, allowing me to be its caretaker?

 I've also left the cuttings indoors, since it rains very often here and I'm not sure where I could place the cuttings to avoid the rain.

So i have these three babies None are rooted and two of them are really skinny and flimsy due to me leaving them on my shelf during the winter. Stupid me, The other one with the actual head is variegated at the top it's like a deep white (pretty cool) and well i'm worried about rooting the two little guys without the tops. Any tips or advice?

careful introducing them to too much light too fast. that tip looks sunburnt.
