Texas Street
Description
“Texas Street” is a clone within the *Trichocereus* genus (likely *T. bridgesii* or a closely related hybrid). Morphologically, it strongly resembles the well-known clone “Lumberjack,” featuring a similar rib structure, spination, and epidermis color, making the two easily confused upon superficial inspection. It is suspected to possess a highly woody and tough vascular core, a trait typical of certain robust *T. bridgesii* cultivars.
History & Origin
The precise origin, discoverer, and pedigree of “Texas Street” remain undocumented. There is minor community confusion or potential overlap with another clone known as “SDSB” (San Diego Street Bridge), though whether these two are synonymous, sister seedlings, or entirely distinct clones is currently unverified.
Cultivation Notes
No specific cultivation requirements have been detailed for “Texas Street.” It should be grown under standard conditions for arborescent *Trichocereus* species:
- Substrate: Highly porous, inorganic-rich soil mix (50% pumice or perlite) to prevent root rot.
- Watering: Thorough watering during the active growing season, allowing the medium to dry out completely between waterings. Keep entirely dry during winter dormancy.
- Exposure: Full sun to light dappled shade.
- Propagation: Due to reports of a potentially extra-woody core, taking cuttings or propagating via grafting may require a sharp, heavy-duty blade to cleanly slice through the tough vascular ring.
