‘David x NZ Blue’ – Trichocereus peruvianus x pachanoi Whole Plants

Trichocereus ‘David x NZ Blue’

A striking Trichocereus peruvianus x Trichocereus pachanoi cross, offered as individually photographed whole plants.

Overview

The first plant has a distinctly blue-green, glaucous surface with straight, defined ribs and honey-gold spines. Its overhead view shows an even star-shaped crown, while the side photographs capture the contrast between the frosted epidermis and warmer spine colour.

Specimen Details

• Variable listing for exact, numbered whole plants
• Variation 01 is the exact plant pictured
• Dedicated front, reverse, overhead, angled and ruler views
• Additional numbered plants can be added with their own dedicated photographs

Genetic Background

David is generally circulated as an Australian Trichocereus peruvianus selection, while NZ Blue is circulated as a New Zealand Trichocereus pachanoi line associated with Ross Gurau. The wording is deliberately cautious because detailed primary provenance for these collector names is not widely published.

Grower Notes

Blue and glaucous expression is influenced by genetics and growing conditions. Give the plant strong light with gradual acclimatisation, good airflow and a free-draining substrate; avoid rubbing the natural surface bloom when handling.

Why This One Stands Out

• Peruvianus x pachanoi collector cross
• Blue-green glaucous epidermis
• Prominent honey-gold spination
• Strong, orderly rib structure
• Exact numbered plants with dedicated photographs
