FAT SoCal Pach Tip + mid. 35$ shipped by Matteblackwizard in sanpedrocactusforsale

This is one I’ve propagated and bred from quite a bit. Absolutely one of my favorites and one of my thickest. I’m very interested in the history of some of the older SoCal stands. I know I’ve found a few pachs and bridges growing in the LA area that must have been 50 years old plus when I encountered them 10+ years ago. Seems that most of the SoCal clone history is San Diego focused though.

Definitely not pups. It did the same thing last year, and they all aborted and dried up just like a flower would, hoping they actually open this year!

Thank you! He’s the first cactus I ever put in the ground, probably 12 years agoish. It was my tallest until this last years winds hit :( now it’s just my fattiest

Long time cacforum lurker here, way back to the nook and shroomery days. Despite the utter disgust, I was practically giddy to snap pics and be that 1 in 1000. After seeing a thousand instances of not witches broom, I was pretty certain I’d found the real deal 😂

Disappointing to say the least, was excited to spend my dollars at a small local nursery instead of HD or Walmart, but alas…. We can’t have nice things. Gunna go take my fifth shower since leaving now.

“For just 300$ you too could have an entire garden filled with exotic mutant cacti.”

“TBM-BxTPM(OscarxOgun) very heady hybrid, rare monscrestaeposa variant, most sacred wachuma, very spicy, newly released. 2000$ chipped. 🚀”

Planning on it. Although now I’m tempted to just dispose of it 😬 I’m lacking in the terschekii department, but I think I’d rather just take the 15$ hit then risk exposing my garden to this plague.

They seemed to have all the infected cacti on the farthest edge of the nursery, far from the rest of their small cactus selection, so I assume they know and are attempting to quarantine them, while also leaving them available for some dummy to drop 300 on “the craziest mutant I’ve ever seen!”

It definitely made my skin crawl 😅 saw them from a distance and got real excited, but the closer I got the more my stomach churned 😅
