Mme's

A few of the many Mme's now in my collection.

Mme's (Myrtillocactus and magic elastic) is a term I've coined for small seedlings grafted on small cereoid stock using "Magic elastic". Actually many of my "Mme's " this year were on Trichocereus pachanoi stock which I raised myself from seed also. I just happened to have a lot of free T. pachanoi seed last year and decided to raise it for grafting stock. The Tricho seems to produce nearly identical results to Myrtillo. I've produced about 100 of these so far this summer and there will probably be even more before the growing season is over. They've been doing just great growing visibly on an almost daily basis. They are now one of the items in my collection that I watch most closely.
