js444
Description
js444 (often associated with Poot's Pachanoi) is a desirable cultivar of Trichocereus pachanoi. It typically exhibits a classic pachanoi morphology, characterized by a deep green to slightly glaucous epidermis, well-defined ribs, and relatively small areoles with short, inconspicuous spines.
History & Origin
The clone is closely associated with Poots Cactus Nursery. Cultivators in the community trace prominent specimens back to Jeff Waters, who has been a key source of distribution for large cuttings of this clone.
Cultivation Notes
js444 is considered an excellent candidate for hybridization, with growers targeting crosses involving other prominent clones such as Landfill and Ogun. In temperate to warm climates, mature specimens are expected to produce flowers in the early spring, typically around March to April. Standard Trichocereus pachanoi cultivation practices apply: provide well-draining soil, deep watering during the active growing season, and dry conditions during winter dormancy.
Community Discussion & Citations
The community discussion highlights the clone's desirability for breeding programs and clarifies its provenance, linking it to Jeff Waters and distinguishing it from other varieties offered by Poots Nursery. Cultivators highly value the clone for hybridization, particularly targeting crosses with Landfill or Ogun, and note its aesthetic appeal as a top-tier cultivar.
