Toms Juuls Giant
Price range: $17.00 through $45.00
Tom Juul’s Giant (TJG) is a renowned Trichocereus pachanoi (San Pedro) clone known for its thick, fat stems and small, almost non-existent spines, distinct from the common PC clone. Originating from a large, historic plant in California, it was distributed by Sacred Succulents and other growers after the owner’s passing
Key Description & Features
-
- Appearance: A classic, thick-stemmed pachanoi with 6-8 ribs, known for being very thick (chunky) in diameter.
- Spination: Extremely small spines, often appearing near-spineless.
- Coloration: Known for a characteristic splotchy yellowish color, which some collectors believe indicates the presence of Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV).
- Origin: Originally from the garden of Tom Juul in California, distributed widely by collectors and nurseries like Sacred Succulents.
- Distinction: It is frequently cited as a distinct, superior, or more “true” Pachanoi compared to the common “PC” clone, often growing faster and thicker.
History
-
- Discovery: Tom Juul had a large, massive plant in his garden. After his passing, cuttings were collected by the defunct Cactus Gem Nursery (run by Jim Daniel) and others.
- Distribution: Sacramento and South Bay, California are where large stands of this plant originated. It was widely distributed by Sacred Succulents.
- Variants: While many “TJGoids” exist, the true, original clones are highly sought after.
Cultivation & Usage
- Growth: Known for being a robust and fast grower.
- Hardiness: Generally hardy, like most Trichocereus, and can tolerate colder conditions in USDA Zones 8-10.
- Uses: Used commonly as an ornamental plant and collector’s specimen.
