About this plant

CSD is a bridgesii named after "Chemical Shaman", a respected member of the Shaman Australis community. Mature plants go thick and wrinkled, with the melty look the clone is known for. It is not the one to learn on — CSD has a reputation for melting or marking up when the conditions are not right.

This one is a large established plant rather than a cutting: a healed, scarred trunk with a cluster of strong pups at the crown, dug with the root ball intact.
