💎👑💎 Amazonas — 11” Tip
Amazonas is a beautiful clone that, even though it’s been around for a long time, is still rare in collections. It’s a stunning Tricho. 11” tip, good thickness, to be cut upon purchase.
Clone notes from Bob Ressler —
BBG # 65.0729 Amazonas department, Bongara provence, Rio Utcubamba, 15 km. south of Caclic at the 18 km stone, 1480 meters elevation. Hutchison, Wright 4013 growing under large bushes.
Collectors never named this plant so I named it after the department it comes from. Collected on Feb. 3, 1964 but donated in 1965 to the BBG.
New growth more blue than older growth. At first 1-3 spines, middle aged growth 3-5 spines and old growth 5-7 spines. Still uncommon to rare in collections, cultivation. Seed grown by me around 1995-1998 from big beautiful flowering plants at the Berkeley botanical gardens.
Original specimens of all three E. = T. species I collected are deceased at the BBG.”

“👑“ means Kingstock, usually reserved for named clones or rarer cultivars. “💎” means extra primo, sometimes due to the nature of the cut (extra fat, rare shape etc). 🌶️” means that it packs a ceremonial punch, two “🌶️🌶️” is my highest ranking, and no ranking means either that it lacks much potency for ceremonial use, or I have not yet tested it. My potency assessments are based only on anecdotal personal experience, and are for purposes of valuing collectibility, not consumption.
The cut you see here is the cut you get, unless noted as an inventory listing. All plants are hard grown rough-n-tumble … outdoors in the ground without shade control, so these soldiers have adaptive fortitude 💪. Listing keyword 527mid
