Trout's Notes on: San Pedro
& related Trichocereus species
Sacred Cacti 3rd Edition, (Part B)

310 pages containing almost 900 B&W photos and a color cover.

This work covers San Pedro Cactus and its relatives, detailing what we could learn concerning the botany, chemistry and history of these beautiful and sometimes gigantic cacti.
Formerly published as the Trichocereus chapter in Sacred Cacti 2nd edition. This material has seen such radical expansion for the 3rd edition that Sacred Cacti now exists as two volumes: Sacred Cacti (Part A)

Trouts Notes on San Pedro has been updated to reflect the acquisition of many obscure papers.
It has also been greatly enlarged with hundreds of photos to help enable the reader to better recognize, or at least understand, what they may encounter in horticulture or in the field.

This book is presently the single most comprehensive and detailed review & reference compendium that exists concerning the San Pedro cactus (Trichocereus pachanoi) and its relatives.

If readers liked Sacred Cacti (2nd ed.), San Pedro will blow them away.
