Saguaro Cacti

Yeah awesome pic Navajoa... the crest is flowering too.


I'd be keen for a Carnegiea seedling too crypto.
I have a decent T. scop about 45cms and a 90cm cereus peruvianus that should do the job I'm thinking.

I'll make sure all of you who have an interest in grafting the Carnegiea get them. Probably better to send them out around spring time when it is good to graft.

Yep that could have been the one HN !

Crypto, sorry, you still lost points for putting the "e" in the wrong spot!

The flowers are pretty impressive too, if you can get up close to them ! Usually they're a couple of metres above you !

Fortunately there is no cactus spell checker,Nav, or your considerable talents in this field may be redundant

Hehehehe thats funny. Don't worry Navajoa I'm a bit of a stickler for correct species names too

Sounds good to me, I'm very keen to do this now I will create a new thread later on so we can record *cough* I mean show off our progress

I think these Carnegiea gigantea grafts will be pretty odd looking... just thinking one columnar on top of another. Also the scion will be super spiney too.
If its on a huge trich or cereus stock the graft should last a great while.

Did anyone do any Saguaro grafing this season??

I forgot about this still a bit early in the season it is still technically winter is the offer still available crypto? Would love one.
