 ===== Description =====
-CSD (Chemical Shamans Dildo) is a highly sought-after semi-monstrose clone of //Trichocereus//, generally classified as //Trichocereus bridgesii//. It is renowned for its distinct apical morphology, featuring tiny, recessed areoles that appear "sucked inside" the epidermis. The spines are typically very short or absent, particularly in the early stages of growth. The epidermis is noted for a vibrant, "tree frog green" color and a glaucous texture. As the plant matures or is grafted, it develops a "funky," irregular growth habit characteristic of the clone's semi-monstrose nature.
+CSD is a highly sought-after clone of //Trichocereus bridgesii// that grows in a very unique monstrose way. While it displays more typical bridgesii pattern growth when small or grafted, once well established or degrafted it is renowned for its distinct apical morphology, featuring angular geometric patterns of deep notches and rib valley angles. It also displays tiny, recessed areoles and spines are typically very short or absent. The epidermis is noted for a vibrant, "tree frog green" color and a glaucous texture.
 ===== History & Origin =====
-While the exact origin of CSD remains a subject of community debate, there is a strong consensus that it originated from seed stock, specifically speculated to be a cross of //SS02 x bridgesii// (likely from Sacred Succulents) based on the timeline of its emergence. The clone has been distributed globally, with documented specimens in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. It is frequently compared to the "Pumacayan" clone, a wild //Trichocereus// collected by Chavin Herbalists in 2017–2018 at the Pumacayan ruins in Huaraz, Peru, due to similar morphological traits.
+CSD was seed grown by Sam Frankel aka "Ferret" on SAB (Shaman Australis Botanicals board). In 2007, Ferret sowed bridgesii seeds he aquired from fellow SAB member beeker. While the seedlings got mixed up, it was either ‘SS02 X [Juul's X peruv]’ or ‘ss01 x ss02’. Our specific seedling that later became known as CSD did not grow more than 1cm in a whole year while its siblings grew to 7 or 8cm. It was then grafted. The first mature growth photo was posted in 2011. It was named in a giveaway in 2014 after another SAB member "Chemical Shaman" who passed away 4 years prior. Since, the clone has been distributed globally, with documented specimens in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.
 ===== Cultivation Notes =====
-CSD is known to be slow-growing and is frequently grafted to accelerate development and induce its "classic" semi-monstrose appearance. Community members suggest that the clone requires full sun to properly express its unique phenotypic traits, particularly in cooler climates like New Zealand. It is sensitive to environmental conditions; without sufficient light, it may not develop the characteristic recessed areoles. Like other semi-monstrose //bridgesii//, it benefits from a well-draining mineral soil and careful watering to prevent rot.

Community members suggest that the clone requires full sun to properly express its unique phenotypic traits, particularly in cooler climates like New Zealand. It is extremely sensitive to environmental conditions: it commonly is afflicted by fungal or oedema issues from moisture.
