Macrogonus Information

Trichocereus macrogonus is a species of columnar cactus that is similar to Trichocereus peruvianus (Peruvian Torch) cactus. Macrogonus also originates from South America, much like San Pedro, Bolivian Torch, and Peruvian Torch. It is known for its beautiful blue color as well as long, golden spines. Similarly to San Pedro, it is a very prolific grower and is very hardy. It is a very highly sought after species and it is hard to come by these amazing genetics.

Peruvian Torch Information

Trichocereus peruvianus, otherwise known as Peruvian Torch Cactus, is a fast growing columnar cactus that is one of San Pedro’s cousins. It is native to the high elevations of Peru, specifically in the Andes mountains. Their skin can range from dark green to a beautiful blue hue. They are prized for their gorgeous long, yellow spines. They can also achieve great thickness, which is another reason why Peruvian Torches are highly sought after in the cactus community. In similar fashion to its cousins Pachanoi, Bridgesii, and Scopulicola, Peruvianus produce large white, night-blooming flowers that have a lovely fragrance.

Field’s Macrogonus Information

This cultivar of Macrogonus hails from the legendary Fields collection in Australia. This revered collection began all the way back in the 1930’s so almost a century ago. The specimens in this collection were mainly brought in by Harry Blossfeld. Blossfeld was a horticulturist, plant explorer, and plant collector extraordinaire. He’s responsible for many of the prominent cultivars we grow today, such as Peru Rosei, Pach Yowie, and many others.

Peru John Information

This is a stunning Peruvianus (Peruvian Torch) cultivar that originates from Dawson’s Cactus Garden in Bendigo, Australia. The current owner of the garden’s name is John. It grows quite thick with pale blue/green skin and striking yellow spines.
