San Pedro Information

Trichocereus pachanoi or commonly known as “San Pedro” is the fastest growing species of columnar cacti and also produces the largest flowers in the cacti world. Their natural habitat is the higher elevations of South America, specifically in Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, as well as Bolivia. Because of their native habitat, they’re not considered “desert” cacti as they typically deal with damp soils, high elevations, and cooler temperatures.

San Pedro “Oscar” Information

Oscar is a San Pedro cultivar that many Trichocereus collectors have in their garden. It grows quite thick and is also known to produce many flowers when it blooms, making it a great cactus for breeding. The characteristic that makes Pach Oscar stand out is that its genetics give it a greater probability of cresting. Many seeds that have Pach Oscar as a parent end up becoming crested.

Scopulicola (Scop) Information

Trichocereus scopulicola or “Scop” is another species of fast growing columnar cacti that are originally from Bolivia. They are closely related to the San Pedro cactus and can look similar. The main difference between Scops and San Pedro are

• Scops are typically a lighter green color than San Pedro
• Scops typically have very small spines and areoles or can even be completely spineless
• Scops often grow thicker than San Pedro
• Scops commonly do not produce many offsets, whereas San Pedros tend to grow bushy with age
