Myrtillocactus Geometrizans

Hey all,

Just wondering if you had any thoughts on Myrtillocactus Geometrizans "Blue Myrtle". This is meant to be a very broad topic- anything you know or expiriences had are welcome.

It is a choice grafting stock and produces blue fruit called garambullos which are popular in some areas.

They will pup near the top if fed and cared for properly.
While it is a fast grower, it is not as tolerant as most Trichocereus species of either cold or overwatering.

I lost one to cold last year and one is fighting off some rot this year.  The one I lost last year had pupped four times at its uncut top.  I was so psyched about it, and then it got too cold in the garage and turned to goo.

I did find two crested forms recently so I had to buy them.  I cannot tell if they are growing yet.

Hmm, seems like a pretty cool cactus. It looks really cool too. What would happen if a slower growing columnar was grafted to it?

Keep the info flowing  :lol:
