Bigfoot
Description
The name “Bigfoot” refers to two distinct Trichocereus clones in circulation: a Trichocereus bridgesii and a Trichocereus peruvianus.
The T. bridgesii clone is known to exhibit slightly irregular growth, occasionally growing “weird” or semi-monstrose. There is some community speculation regarding its genetics, with some growers suggesting it may be a Cuzco-dominant bridgesii hybrid, though this remains unverified.
History & Origin
Both clones originated from the now-defunct Bigfoot Nursery. While other clones may have been released by the nursery, the bridgesii and peruvianus cultivars are the two primary clones that remain widely circulated in the collecting community.
Cultivation Notes
The “Bigfoot” bridgesii clone is reported to be exceptionally hardy and resilient. While many T. bridgesii cultivars struggle in humid or less-than-ideal climates, growers note that the Bigfoot bridgesii is highly adaptable, easy to care for, and grows vigorously where other bridgesii clones fail.
