Mid cutts, approx 10-12”, these have been on tables for too long, bumps, pokes, scars, aerial roots, discoloration etc. but once rooted and potted, new growth will show its character.
Mutt and its’ story.

This big stand of Trichocereus is at our nursery front gate. I caught a guy taking a piece once and chased him down in my car. He showed me the cutting and I told him to follow me back to the nursery. He did. Not sure if I was dumb chasing him down over a piece of cactus, or he was dumber following me back to my nursery? I cut him a nice clean piece and took the ugly piece he had taken. He came back a handful of times over the next few years to buy more cuttings. True story, a few details missing.
Bob at MISPLANT called this guy Mutt. Shows a lot of different looks, inconsistent spines, short long and none. Glaucus/farina, does great here in any weather, hardgrown, no water all summer. I don’t think Bob was being complimentary when he called this trich Mutt, but I like Bob a lot(checkout his website if you want seeds!), but I tend to think of the name in a positive manner, many of my favorite dogs in life have been mutts, some of the smartest most loyal friends I’ve had.

**Cactus are not perfect, they may have small flaws, we try and photograph all sides of a cactus including any flaws that catch our attention, but please do not expect every spine to be perfect, these are growing cactus and like people, they have character!
