Uawa x Gissy (Yearlings)

"Uawa"

 A named cultivar (CV) of Trichocereus, specifically a hybrid. Here's what is known about it:

Type: 'Uawa' is primarily recognized as a Trichocereus hybrid, often appearing in crosses. One common cross mentioned is "Slimer x Uawa," which is further described as a "Melty scop x Fat pach." This suggests that 'Uawa' itself likely has genetic contributions from Trichocereus scopulicola ('scop') and Trichocereus Pachanoi ('pach').

Origin: Seeds for 'Uawa' hybrids, such as "Slimer x Uawa," are noted to be "seed grown" and come from Ross Gurau in New Zealand.

Characteristics (from hybrid descriptions): When crossed, 'Uawa' contributes to "mutant genetics" and "melty" characteristics, combined with the "fat pach" qualities. This implies it might have unusual growth forms or tendencies to exhibit Monstrose or crested traits.

Availability: Plants resulting from 'Uawa' crosses (like "Slimer x Uawa") are sold online, for example, on eBay Australia.

Related to Other Cultivars: The "Melty scop" parent in "Slimer x Uawa" refers to Trichocereus scopulicola, and "Fat pach" refers to a stout form of Trichocereus Pachanoi. This highlights its place within the broader Trichocereus family of columnar cacti, which includes well-known species like San Pedro (Trichocereus Pachanoi) and Peruvian Torch (Trichocereus Peruvianus).

Gissy' 

A clone that originates from Ross Gurau's garden in New Zealand. Ross Gurau is a well-known grower and breeder of Trichocereus cacti. 'Gissy' is listed among other named clones from his garden, such as 'Church Hill', 'Sheridan', 'Decosta', and 'Weka'.

Species: While not explicitly stated as Pachanoi or Peruvianus in every mention, its association with other clones from Ross Gurau's garden that are predominantly Trichocereus Pachanoi suggests it is likely a form of Trichocereus Pachanoi (San Pedro cactus).

Usage in Crosses: 'Gissy' is known to be used as a parent plant in hybridization, as evidenced by references to crosses like "Uawa x Gissy". This indicates it possesses desirable traits for breeding.

General Characteristics (as a Trichocereus clone):
Trichocereus species, in general, are known for being columnar, fast-growing, and relatively cold and wet tolerant.
They typically produce large, funnel-shaped, white flowers that often open at night.
They can be easily propagated from cuttings.

In essence, 'Gissy' is a named Trichocereus clone with a known origin in New Zealand, used in breeding programs, and shares the general characteristics of robust, fast-growing columnar cacti typical of the Trichocereus genus.
