Verne’s Wild Andes aka IcarosDNA cuttings

Verne grew out a big batch of Julio’s IcarosDNA seeds and was very pleased with them. He called them Wild Andes.

For the first few years they grew he sold potted seedlings and several times I stayed up late into the night watching eBay to buy as many as possible.

Eventually Verne stopped selling the seedlings and planted the remaining Wild Andes seedlings at his Escalon ranch. As they grew out he began to sell cuttings from these plants.

After his death in 2022 most of these cactuses were moved to the Cactus Affinity farm and potted up or planted back into the ground. 

The cuttings on this page come from the heritage Wild Andes cactuses Verne kept to grow at his ranch, now grown at Cactus Affinity.
