We now have San Pedro Cactus Crest cuttings.
These Trichocereus pachanoi crests are about 6-inches tall. Crest or "cristate" San Pedros are rare and special. Looking, like brains, the growing point is generally ridge-like instead of circular. The only way to multiply this cactus is by dividing the main crest in smaller pieces that can be rooted.
