(syn: Echinopsis terscheckii) We saw these amazing high-elevation tree-cacti on our 2002 expedition to Argentina and are preparing to trial them for winter hardiness here in Zone 7. Each 1' wide trunk eventually branches with age, forming marvelous specimens that resemble US saguaros. This is a one-time opportunity for you to try these along with us. Well-drained soils in the winter are critical. Our offerings are 1-2" tall seedlings...quantities are limited.
