Trichocereus Terscheckii 'Cardon Grande'~*

From Backebergs Trichocereus Lexicon, T. terscheckil (Parm.) Br. & R. (1)
Ba. eventually ± tree-like, to 12 in h., trunk to 45 cm 25; branches parallel, ascending, over 15 cm 25, intense green; Ri. 8—14, to 4cm h. ; Ar. 1.5cm 25, to 3cm apart; Sp. 8—15, subulate, to 8cm long., yellow; H. 15—20 cm long., c. 12 cm 25, white, with brown H.—N. Argentina (Catamarca; La Rioja; Tucuman; Salta; Jujuy).


I love these type of plants, will eventually become a massive tree like cactus. Mine is still only a baby and is just starting to come out of the globular stage into a column. Got it from Herbalistics.com.au. Is a slow grower, so will be waiting awhile for this one to get big but once they reach a decent size they take off. ~*
