Other Trichocereus
Jiimz Juuls
Well documentedJiimz Juuls is a fast, blue-green with short spines that keeps its colour well in normal growing conditions. It was introduced by Darren of The Succulent Source and named for Darren's father, Jim. The one caution growers repeat is that it marks up more easily than most: black mould and humidity spotting show on it sooner, particularly in a humid greenhouse.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.

The longer version
Species, as our sources record it: ; the wiki page does not state a species.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.
The first word of the name points to Darren's father, Jim.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
Growers treat it as a clone in its own right rather than a seed-grown , and point to a community book known as TTC for the fuller history.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
A California nursery that grows it gives the same route independently — a out of San Diego by way of Jiimz and The Succulent Source — and is explicit that it is not the same plant as the Northern Californian Tom Jules Giant.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
Where the name comes from
Darren, who runs the nursery The Succulent Source, brought the clone into circulation.Reported, but not confirmed.

- Notes
- is blue-green with a waxy bloom that it holds well under ordinary conditions.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.Spines stay short.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Short spines are common in this genus and nothing here contradicts it.It puts on growth quickly.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.Several growers report it picks up black mould and humidity marks more readily than their other clones, especially in humid greenhouses.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Waxy blue skin in still, humid air commonly collects mould and water marks; this is normal behaviour.
What the sources say
Our own notes carry a differently spelled market name, Jiimz Twin Spine or Jim's Twin Spines, which is a separate clone; the similar spellings are easy to confuse.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.
