grown from Mesa Garden seed, I have been growing this plant since 2010
this is one of three seeds grown out by MSS and described as a âthick plant with fuller spinesâ, a sister plant to small spine huancabamba JS130
The seeds were labeled by Mesa Garden as âperu Huancabambaâ, but the offspring were commonly called âpach Huancabambaâ when grown by the columnar cactus community. Seeds collected at Huancamba by a Dutch citizen who was married to a Peruvian.
I believe most of the Huancabambas in collections are cuttings from the seeds started by Sacred Succulents, but these seeds were also grown out by a handful of cactus enthusiasts in the early 2000âs.Â
