💎👑💎 SCB — First Release
Ready for a new Freak? This is my first release of SCB — “Shaff’s Cresty Balls” — a legitimate (unique + stable) new mutant. This listing is for an SCB pup graft on rooted PC — see last 3 pics here for the graft you’ll receive.
Clone info: This is the strangest way I’ve ever arrived at a new clone. It started with a very small Shaff graft (Shaff is a cloned mutant of Trichocereus Shaferi). I already had Shaff, but wanted more material to graft with, so I purchased a small graft.
My intention was to immediately regraft it on larger stock, but I noticed a tiny abnormal “pup” on it. I put “pup” in quotes here because it was more like a growth than a pup, perfectly round, smaller than a BB, but not emerging from an areole like a regular pup. This weird bit of material I micrografted to Pereskiopsis.
As it grew, it started “balling” … offsetting balls (like Hulk’s Balls). I then up-grafted it to bigger stock, and the weirdness continued. The balls kept coming, and a good number of these balls were crested! For awhile, I just assumed that the original graft wasn’t actually Shaff, because how could Shaff produce this? I have since confirmed that it absolutely 100% *is* Shaff. You can see the original graft here (slides 6 and 7).
I have now regrafted this material 20-ish times, and it’s completely stable — doesn’t revert back to “normal” Shaff. For awhile I called this “Shaff’s Tumor”, but then changed it to SCB — “Shaff’s Cresty Balls”.

“👑“ means Kingstock, usually reserved for named clones or rarer cultivars. “💎” means extra primo. “🌶️” means that it packs a punch, two “🌶️🌶️” is my highest ranking, and none (🚫🌶️) usually means that I have no knowledge (yet) in the spice department.
The cactus you see here is the same cactus 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 48mid
