California Blue is a glaucous Trichocereus clone recognized for its prominent blue coloration. The intensity of its blue glaucous epidermis is highly dependent on light exposure, becoming particularly vibrant and pronounced when grown under filtered light or shade.
The origin and namer of the “California Blue” clone remain undocumented. It is maintained in private collections, but its breeder or original wild collection details are currently unknown.
This clone is highly adaptable to different light regimes. It can tolerate full sun in arid conditions, but growers report that providing tree shade or early afternoon summer shade produces the most aesthetically striking blue coloration.
