This is a naturally occurring intergenetic hybrid between Pachycereus pringlei and Bergerocereus emoryii. These “parent” species are very different – the former being huge and robust, the latter typically less than 4 feet in height and 2 inches in diameter. These species grow in close proximity to each other in Baja California south of the town of El Rosario. The species, named for Charles Russell Orcutt, an early 20th century American plant collector in western deserts, grows to at least 12 feet tall. There are only a dozen of these know to be growing in the wild !!! - pack contains 25 seeds ! I harvested this fruit and cleaned these seeds personally. They were grown in “Dons” garden , Don is who sacred succulents originally purchased there tmb from along with sso3 and cactus affinities “Don huan”. Don is a cactus hero of mine !!!!
