San Pedro Australiana - Part 1 - Why grow San Pedro?

[@BertnQuinnsandwich]

Am I the only one who gets this guy's dry af humour? I'm in stitches

[@entheotv]

Yes, it is a very fun video 🤣

[@ambassador8524]

Oh it’s great

[@jessicaembers924]

The most interesting characteristic I've noticed is they make my heart feel happy just looking at them growing in a field.

[@Aasn9]

The harvested portions were for grafting purposes only.

Apparently mescaline is an amphetamine! No good for people like me on daily blood pressure pills.

[@devonbradley4372]

Loved the look on your face when you said, "I don't want to encourage you to do something illegal, especially not consuming San Pedro". I went into hysterics when you said, "cactus body shaming". Having said all that, thank you so much for the video. I wish you would come to Queensland and do some lectures. We need you up here, believe me!

[@stevenhawkins4518]

This is the most informative video of San Pedro I've come across and funny. You are quite a character my friend 😂

[@jajaofficial5387]

Fabulous filming location!!! ahhh the gentle sway of a mature trich in the wind, you wave and they wave back.

Wow. Thank you, brother 🙏🏼! I love growing cactus for ornamental use. This is so helpful. ❤

[@spaceninja1984]

Love the channel. I just subscribed. I have been working with San Pedro for about 15 years, and currently starting my own SP farm in Taos, New Mexico.

Trichocereus Grandiflorus hybrids are my favorite! I have thousands of them. I grow from seed and pups from my own plants. I have bridgessi seedlings and had no idea they had that in them. I love my cacti and I just want to grow them for their beauty.

[@happydays2190]

Sadly the money hungry people that run this chanel decided to sell out for mainstream media fame and bring unwanted attention to people like you and me who grow them for ornamental purposes. They are driven by pure ego. Read their article on the ABC, so sad how people put themselves before everyone else for their own gain

[@gratefuldoge8598]

How long does it take a stand to grow that tall? Any amendments to the soil? Whats the watering like ?

[@Northerncacti2021]

Wounderful! Thank you

Here in Victoria, prickly pear is a government recognised PEST plant. My uncle had a HUGE one that would produce plenty of fruit, and I ate a lot as a kid. I know of a bunch near a since closed rubbish tip in the bush that fruits well, and REGARDLESS of the pest designation, these people down the road from me PLANTED HUNDREDS OF METERS of them on their boundary fence. Driving past last week, I could see they're all fruiting right now. They've got tons of olive trees and have essentially ignored the prickly pear within 2 years of planting. They don't pick the fruit or anything.

[@julianchoque7402]

some people build fences of dissuasive cactus

[@OffGridInvestor]

@@julianchoque7402 back in the early 1900s in Queensland, there was so much prickly pear that the government employed people for 30 or 40 years to JUST dig it out. My mum read a book of the daughter of someone who was doing that job. They were trying to control it from spreading further. I think the land they were digging it out from was essentially desert anyway, likely never used for serious farming. But there's so many things classed as weeds here, they only try to reduce or enforce farmers to control a few of the worst of them.

[@empresspetsandplants]

The Opuntia Irradiation through Moths might be seen as one of Australia's biggest achievements. But it's somehow one of the biggest mistakes. OPUNTIA FICUS INDICA is one type of Opuntia that has very high nutritional value and very delicious fruits called KARMOUSS in Morocco. Instead of killing all the Opuntias, our predecessors could have researched on how to incorporate the pads on our daily diet because one of it's health benefits is developing the skin's natural UV filtration which could address one of Australia's biggest challenge: Skin Cancer. All in all, I love you Mate. Thank you for making this very informative video. Let's be friends shall we

[@kerriefearby9542]

Every day I struggle to keep my O. Ficus indica well; it is constantly being hunted down by that blasted moth :-(

[@jackpalmer6253]

Thank you for being so knowledgeable about this wonderful plant. I do think it's funny though that Trichocereus isn't capitalized on your t-shirt, considering its the genus of our favourite cactus ;)

[@alexvermaak1759]

taxonomical nomenclature isn't supposed to be capitalized according to the infamous 1986 "decree of deez"

Genus is capitalized, species is not.

[@paratoxsick4517]

Could someone please tell me which variety of san pedro the cactus at 4:41 probably belongs to? I have seen pictures of san pedros again and again where the spines were much longer than the cross-section diameter of the trunk. however, I never found out under what name this variety can be found. I see most of the resemblance to a bridgseii. I would love to grow those kind of amazing san pedros. I would be happy about your answers or assumptions. thx

[@liamengel5222]

The cactus pictured at 4:41 is Trichocereus bridgesii 'Psycho0'. This is quite a common clone in Australia, but it can get pricey overseas. One of the fastest growers in my garden :)

are you using grafting to give new life to areas of cactus that were cut during harvesting?

Looked to me like he was using a prickly pear to graft san pedro to speed it up to make new cuttings from the grafts.

It's legal in Australia and peyote is legal in all but 3 states too.

[@leviskintyre462]

I like you vid on pedro, fyi at the beginning you made mistake andsaid species echinopsis or trichocereus but these are the Genus

[@mitchhutto2953]

Why is my San Pedro not flowering it's from a cut and it's now 3 ft tall and 3 years old

[@psilocypher]

Where are you located? It could just be the climate. I’ve been growing in Louisiana for years now, and I rarely see flowers on my trichos. My lophos flower all the time though.

[@gtillen]

Great vid! Also, alkaloid content can be increased by intentional stressing of the parent plant ; )

[@davy_oliveira]

I accidentally watered too much my San Pedro cactus and it ended up rotting all the way down to its base. The green fleshy part is gone , but I have an extensive root system. Do you think it will regenerate?

[@desertweasel6965]

How much did you water it?

[@HHalcyon]

Is there a scabbed stump left or anything that resembles a stump and isn't infected? Also why did you let it rot all the way down to the base? As far as I understand overwatering kills the root system first so I am conflicted as to what exactly happened to your specimen.

[@tipskulhiso6763]

San Pedro plantations ???

[@edithattreed4762]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge,legal requirements of the prickly pear opuntia ficus indica (Indian fig) is not prohibited or restricted invasive plant , I’ve checked Queensland Government Business Queensland

[@OffGridInvestor]

Mustn't have checked too hard because it WAS an invasive species that they employed a few hundreds people to dig out for 40 years in Queensland. It is a restricted invasive species here in Victoria but it's not enforced. Someone down the road from me has grown like 40 against a stone wall bordering their property. Go ask the Department of Agriculture and you'll get the real answer.

Lol just because they’re psychoactive doesn’t mean you have to consume them. Some of the most beautiful plants are psychoactive.

[@echo1434]

Great video all-around! I actually have the outdoor space to go crazy growing these kinds of things, but it's far too cold for about half of the year so I have to do an outdoor/indoor hybrid method. Too bad, because I cannot think of anything else I would want to (legally) grow so much outdoors. But definitely DO NOT grow these with any intent of psychedelic consumption. :-)

Trichocereus and Echinopsis are genera names, not species names btw. Echinopsis is the current genus name, with pachanoi being the current species name. Though this may change in the future, as taxonomy often does. Either way, it sure is San Pedro.

[@cityturbofly]

is this video deliberately misleading as very few shown, esp the flowers (none of which are san pedro)?

[@oldsalt394]

I mean, they did show flower buds, and if you're mislead simply from coloured flowers you might need to join up with some of the trichocereus groups on Facebook. There are many new colour flower variants that are coming out, as well as intergenetic hybrids. Liam makes a lot of great points, but he's literally standing in front of a farm full of trichs.

[@cityturbofly]

@@oldsalt394 um if you think any flower is active, you got issue buddy.. not me. san pedro aka trich should be white dinner plate flowers! And all those flowerers were shitty non active cacti, so that's how i call it misleading when 3/4 the video is non.

Animals get a lot of fruit produced everything its fertilized seems. When in grown in direct soil, sand Central West gulf coast either nematodes of moisture rotted two when away. Have exotics but fruits from travels. Took out thousands if pounds prickly pear gets too wild. What's a wholesaler of many varieties, I often share plants. Had no idea was valuable, thank you. Anyone have success in Tampa area? Or know link, love to have many varieties. Especially if threatened, b e glad to save like my fruit trees. Spending thousands to get trees removed for more room. Prickly pear and subulatta fish hooks are awful. Worked at wholesale cactus place when 14-15 yearold, miserable heat and no money. Peyote I'd grow if threatened as have room.
