Cactus ID?
    #22270577 - 09/21/15 05:44 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

This look like San Pedro to me but something about it is making me doubt if it really is.
Someone is giving a bunch of cactus away on Craig's list as long as you dig it up. :awesomenod:

It looks too bumpy to be san pedro, but then some spots looks like it could possibly be.
But if I could see a nicer and closer picture then I could definitely tell you.

Sure it's bumpy, and the overall shape of the bush reminds me Myrtillocactus, but i think it's Pachanoi

I'm stopping by tomorrow for some of the other cacti anyways so I'll grab some cuttings and get better pics. I should be able to come back for more if it is san pedro.

:lol: Yeah I thought about renting a truck but I want to be certain its San Pedro before I put that much time and money into cutting down something that big.

It should have bloomed recently so I may ask around if it had large white flowers or something else. After looking at some picture it does have a bit of a Myrtillocactus vibe though.

That yard has a nice ferrocactus and created opuntia microdaisy.

That San Pedro looks a lot like myrtlitocactus,but I'm 99% sure that its not . It has a unique growth habit.

Yeah, I'll be grabbing some cuttings of the opuntia. I'll see how a feel about the ferrocactus when I get there, not sure how much time energy I want to spend digging it out.

Be careful and use something like a tong , or cardboard to keep your hands from touching the oputnia because the barbs are hard to remove. The wine can also blow spines away from the opuntia.

I imagine the ferrocafrua has a shallow root system , but only one way to find out.

The giveway is the branching habit, sideways and up high on the plant - I say it Myrtillocactus geometrizans. A beautiful plant that will give you lots of myrtle like fruits and ample supply of grafting stock.

(the other one is a Cleistocactus, probably C. straussii)

So, it was a Myrtillocactus. It still had a few flower on it which made it clear it wasn't San Pedro.
I grabbed a few cuttings

Yeah it ended up being pretty shallow so wasn't too hard to dig out. Luckily I got there first since there was others interested in it.


They also had stuff in the back yard so I grabbed a few.
:lol: :trippinbawelz:

Yeah, they're San pedro. Some still had flower buds on them.
There was a lot, I didn't even take them all. Some other guy came a little after me and started hacking away at the rest. There was a couple columns that were ~12ft.

Yeah, I was going to come back on the weekend with a truck so I could get the rest but then some other guy shows up and goes straight for all the San Pedro. :sad:
Man, I'm glad I didn't decide to wait to go there. :awesomenod:

Imagine Stupendous-Yappi catching every column as it fell down. Ouch Ouch , like 15 times lol. good catch :sunny: , did you get a chance to see what color the flower buds were ?

Let us know how updating your yard with cacti - succulents  goes . Glad to see you got the ferrocactus , how did you pick it up?

Tie a rope around it , or wrap it inside a tarp . Haha idk

I think most of the Mexi-American globulars have shallow root systems because I put a large gymnocalcium in a big ass pot thinking"big cactus = big pot"  but the roots were only 4-5 inches deep.

I think the reason Sauguaros grow so slow is because they've got shallow root systems.

Not at all, there are plants with thick and/or deep roots through all of the natural range of cacti. Just think Lophophora (and there are plenty more!).
