Trichocereus terscheckii (Argentine Saguaro, Cordon Grande) 

Trichocereus terscheckii are the heavyweight champs of the Trichocereus; huge and solid.

Trichocereus terscheckii grow to an astonishing 30 + feet (a Trichocereus in Saguaro clothing). In fact, the Trichocereus terscheckii are sometimes called "Argentine Saguaro".

We offer rooted Trichocereus terscheckii in two sizes: 6 to 8 inches and 12 to 16-inches. The 6 to 8-inch Trichocereus terschekii is 3 or 4 inches-thick. The 12+ inch cacti are 6 to 9-inches thick.

WE HAVE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF 12-INCH LONG 10-INCH THICK ROOTED MONSTERS AVAILABLE. We only have a few. Won't last long.

The picture of the large cactus was taken on a recent trip to Argentina. The arms of the wild cactus weigh up to 100 pounds per linear foot.

And a picture of some of our rooted Trichocereus terscheckii. They're not quite as large as the monster pictured above, but still large and heavy enough to be extremely difficult to play hot potato with (the spines don't help).
