Description
Trichocereus Bridgesii "Jiimz Strong Spine" cactus specimen. Two options, either a cutting or potted available. These Bridgesiis are named "Strong Spines" per their distictive and consistently thick grouping of spines. Spine counts tend to range from 3-5. Great strain of Bridgesii, they grow thick and tend to have a rounder/fuller head. Even here in southern California though, these guys can still develop various viral and fungal issues that tend to be common amongst Bridgesii. Humidity, excessive moisture, damage, and stress can all trigger symptoms. At our nursery, 99% of the time they will naturally heal, with the black area turning to a regular cactus scar color over a few months. Many collectors across the country where they have to control their growing environment and season may use various anyi fungal/viral treatments. On very rare occasions we will take a knife to an area that is spreading/not healing and cut damaged tissue away and allow air movement and sun to help with healing. Spots can also occur via shipping, we recommend being patient and allowing time to naturally heal vs panicking! Potted specimens will ship in their 1 gallon containers and will average between 10-12", sometimes taller per season. These are pretty specimens, but not show winners, they will likely have some scars and marks etc as just shared.

Customer Reviews
Arrived in a timely manner. The cactus was packaged very well, and arrived with no damage. The one I ordered was in a measurement range, to my recollection 16 in to 18 in. It is 19.5 in tall. There are no blemishes or any other problems on the cactus. Included were two tiny cactuses pro bono. They are unlabeled. One appears to be possibly of the barrel cactus type, and the other is sort of a pad like prickly pear. Long story short, 10/10, will do business again.
3rd time ordering from here, and every order has been good. All cacti I got arrived in perfect condition. They gifted 4 free cacti with my order!
Took UPS a bit, but worth the wait. Beautiful TPM cutting and decent price. Will definitely be back.
Definitely a healthy, thick PC Cactus. 10/10, perfect like my first order. Thanks!
