It grows fast and branches freely, reaching 6 to 12 feet over the years, and is a favorite stock for grafting and breeding. If you have been searching for a spineless San Pedro, this is the plant that usually fits the bill: its own Bolivian species, not a form of San Pedro (\u003cem\u003eTrichocereus pachanoi\u003c\/em\u003e), with the same easy columnar habit and almost none of the spines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNative to a small area of southern Bolivia, it is prized as much for its smooth, sculptural form as for its vigor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery cutting is a tip taken from a mature mother plant we grow, not a mid-section. A tip arrives with its growing point intact, so once it roots it carries on as a column rather than having to start new growth from a cut face. We cut thick and cure the end until it is callused and ready to root.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is an \u003cstrong\u003eunrooted tip cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e, 10 to 12 inches long, a fresh, callused segment you root yourself. Like all our plants it ships bare-root, with no pot or soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSold strictly as an ornamental specimen.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thoughtful Pricks","offers":[{"title":"10-12\"","offer_id":43376157458480,"sku":"TSCO-CUT-1012","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/4877\/0352\/files\/scopulicola-cutting-12-inch.jpg?v=1786231261","url":"https:\/\/thoughtfulpricks.com\/products\/scopulicola-cactus-cutting-trichocereus-scopulicola","provider":"Thoughtful Pricks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
