This Trichocereus Bridgesii/Pachanoi hybrid was grafted onto Pereskiopsis last year. It took a while to get going, but has been growing strongly outdoors this summer. However it has always had a lean, and recently has needed extra support as the stock is fairly weak. The scion also terminated, then started a new growth 'section'. I've just noticed the bottom of the scion is growing both roots and pups, so I decided to harvest the top part to re-root into a new plant, and try to accelerate the growth of the new pups and roots. Eventually I will cut the bottom part from the Pereskiopsis but I'd like to see how it continues to grow first. I may get 3 handsome new arms but we'll have to see if the Pereskiopsis lasts, as it doesn't look particularly healthy now. Cutting the top off proved to be a challenge, as it is extremely spiny and has developed a somewhat woody core that was hard to cut with a modelling knife.
