Huarazino

Well documented

Also written as Huarazino, Huarazio

Huarazino is a San Pedro from the city of Huaraz in Peru, known for branching hard into dense clumps of arms. It carries green with a blue cast, six to eight slightly wavy ribs, and short brown-to-yellow spines set in shallow . Seed went out through the Chavin herbalists from 2017; the original was later destroyed, and the line survives only because it had already been shared. Whether plants sold today are of that mother or seedlings from it is an open question.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

  • heavy branching
  • blue-green skin
  • 6-8 ribs
  • short spines
  • white night flowers

Family line

what the record holds

No source in this library records a cross for Huarazino. Nobody names a mother or a father for it, and no other entry here names it as a parent.

That is the record, not an oversight: of the 749 names in this library, 693 have no recorded relation either. Most named clones were selected, cut and passed along without anyone writing down what they came out of. A parent goes in here when a source states it and never because a name looks like one — a wrong pedigree would travel further than a blank one, because pedigrees get copied.

If you know where it came from, tell us — a person reads everything before it appears.

The longer version

Species, as our sources record it: 'Huarazino'.

Huan Shuma states that it was propagated and put into circulation by the Chavin herbalists.Reported, but not confirmed.

Seed was first offered in their 2017 catalogue, with fresh seed again the following year.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

In 2021 Huan Shuma reported that the original mother plant had been removed and destroyed, and that the line survived only because growers had already spread it.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

One grower, Daniel Hackbarth, says the plants were obtained around March 2021 from a Canadian collector who had been importing Peruvian for some years.Reported, but not confirmed.

A California nursery that grows it records the same two things and nothing more: a pachanoi that comes from Huaraz in Peru, and a clone of the Chavin herbalists.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

Where the name comes from

The clone comes from the city of Huaraz in Peru.Reported by 2 independent sources; we have not seen it ourselves.

Notes
A heavy brancher that builds dense clumps of many arms.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.Skin is glaucous green, often with a blue tone.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Glaucous, blue-tinged skin is frequent in the genus, especially on hard-grown plants.Stems carry roughly six to eight prominent, slightly wavy ribs.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Six to eight somewhat wavy ribs falls squarely within the genus's normal rib count.Areoles sit in shallow depressions and bear three to seven short needle-like spines in brown to yellow tones.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Sunken areoles with a few short brown-to-yellow spines is an ordinary Trichocereus areole.Mature plants open the large white night-flowers typical of the genus.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

What the sources say

The wiki page leaves open whether plants circulating now are cuttings of the original or seed-grown descendants, saying there is evidence for both.Reported, but not confirmed.
