Hutchison 1597 BBG 57.0884

I bought a couple Hutch 1597 plants from a Berkeley Botanical Garden plant sale around 2006 and have been growing it since.

According to K. Trout, "Sadly the display specimens of P.C.Hutchison 1597 periodically experiences heavy predation by thieves and is removed from public display to enable it to recover and survive."

Collected as a live clone by Paul C. Hutchison on October 10, 1957 above and east of town along road to Piura at elevation 2550 m (8350'). Huancabamba Province, Piura Department, Peru

Our Hutchison 1597 plants are grown outdoors in Chico, California planted directly in the ground. They are grown without chemical inputs, grafting, or forced reproduction. We grow several Hutch 1597 cactuses that hAve reached a mature size and are propagated carefully to ensure they continue to flower each year. We also grow Hutchison 1597 planted more intensively in a raised bed open to the earth where we are able to more regularly take cuttings.
