"Own a piece of the legend"

All plants are from the legendary Cactus Kate San Pedro brought to California from Peru in the 1960s.

Rooted over 1-year ago, these are super healthy and ready to transplant right now to large pots. They are in their original rooting pots so please transplant as soon as possible to stimulate continued root growth. 2 to 4 gallon is OK for the first year.

Here is a photo tutorial about repotting these plants

"Your cacti are without a doubt the best specimens I've encountered so far (my roommate & I went in on an order together a while ago). The last cuttings we got arrived in pristine condition after having been cut a week prior to shipping & suffering another week knocking around various FedEx vehicles. The fact that those beautiful columns came out of the box looking fresh & eminently rootable (thanks for the instruction, by the way) was undoubtedly a testimony to both your plant's hardiness & your excellent packaging strategy. You run a first class operation out there. Take care & keep on propagating" :-> -Todd

The most authentic San Pedro money can buy!

My San Pedro derive from an authentic strain imported by a botanist who brought cuttings from Peru to California in the 1960's. He gave them to a local grower, Cactus Kate (Jackson), who grew a large stand of Trichocereus Pachanoi in Watsonville.

In 1987 Kate taught me how to propagate San Pedro cuttings. Violent ground movement during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake snapped off many of the tallest San Pedro tips. Kate phoned me to come by and load up the car with them. She gave me enough to plant the stand shown here in Mountain View, California (photo at top right).

Then 15 years later I moved the entire collection to the California Central valley where they have been multiplying since 2004.

zircon6 on ebay for 11 years
Photo at right is one of the actual source plants for the cuttings offered for sale on eBay. You cannot find a better San Pedro grown without chemicals, or pesticides.

The owner, Frank, died at age 95 in 2008. He told me in 2004 that his San Pedro was 45 years old. So now it is probably 50 years old. I prune and maintain this specimen with great care.

My source of plants started in 1987 with Cactus Kate in Watsonville, California.
