NZ Blue x Fillmore (Yearlings)

NZ Blue'" is a highly sought-after cultivar within the Trichocereus genus, particularly valued for its striking blue coloration. Here's a breakdown of what's known about it:
Origin and Characteristics:
Origin: "NZ Blue" is a unique, long-spined Trichocereus pachanoi (San Pedro cactus) cultivar that originated from Ross Gurau in New Zealand. The "NZ" in its name refers to its New Zealand origin.
Appearance: As its name suggests, it's known for being one of the "bluest" Trichocereus plants, especially when grown in the right conditions. This blue hue is often a prominent feature, with newer growth sometimes appearing lighter blue. It features columnar stems, characteristic of Trichocereus pachanoi. Spines are generally sparse and can be short or longer depending on the specific specimen and growing conditions.
Growth: "NZ Blue" is noted as a fast grower and can achieve significant height and girth within a single growing season. Like other Trichocereus pachanoi, it can reach impressive mature heights, potentially several meters tall.
Flowering: While specific details on the flowers of "NZ Blue" are less commonly highlighted than its blue stem color, Trichocereus pachanoi typically produces large, white, nocturnal blooms.

Filmore- Online discussions and sales listings suggest that "Fillmore" is a known and desirable clone within the Trichocereus collecting community. The Cactus Jones, a known cactus nursery/farm, mentions finding a "nicely variegated Trike Assyria Chifari" tucked away at Sal's Cactus Mart in Fillmore, which could hint at some connection to this area or nursery, although it's not explicitly stated that this variegated plant is "Fillmore." Not much is found about filmore. Any information is greatly appreciated. email info to seedgrowncacti@gmail.com
