TA01
Description
Specific botanical descriptions of the pure TA01 clone (such as exact rib count, areole structure, or epidermis color) are not detailed in the primary discussion. However, it is known to grow into robust, thick specimens (“massive chunks”). In hybridization, particularly when crossed with 'Sharxx Blue' (TA01 x Sharxx), it produces highly sought-after offspring that exhibit prominent, long spines.
History & Origin
TA01 is an Australian clone. The “TA” prefix stands for “Trichocereus Australia,” the breeder/source from which the clone originated. It has been distributed within the collecting community both as a standalone clone and as a parent in hybrid seed crosses.
Cultivation Notes
Like most Trichocereus species, TA01 is resilient and can be propagated from large stem cuttings. If rooting cuttings during the winter dormancy period, progress will be slow; expect root establishment to take a few months, aligning with the onset of the spring growing season. For optimal growth, use a highly gritty, well-draining soil mix, provide bright partial to full sunlight, and follow a deep watering schedule only when the soil is completely dry.
