Tr. pachanoi ‘Juuls Giant’ x Tr. peruvianus ‘Huancabamba’ Cuts

This is a very cool cross of Trichocereus pachanoi (Juuls Giant) and Trichocereus peruviana (Huancabamba), looks almost Ogan to me.

This cross is a fast grower so you can get some impressive size quickly over the growing season.

History

Trichocereus Juuls Giant (pachanoi)

Tom Juul’s Giant aka TJG is a famous Trichocereus clone that goes back to the former butcher Tom Juul´s, who imported this plant into the United states and spent a lot of time to spread it around. The California based nursery Sacred Succulents played a major part in the wide distribution of this clone. It is a classic Trichocereus pachanoi clone, but VERY different to what´s making the rounds under the name PC. The latter is a unique clone with a very untypical appearance for the species Trichocereus pachanoi.

Trichocereus Huancabamba (peruvianus)

Trichocereus peruviana hailing from Huancabamba and is a town in Northern Peru, capital of the province Huancabamba in the region Piura. It is situated in the valley of the Huancabamba river, along which the old Inca road passed leading from Quito to Cajamarca.
