BOTANICAL SAMPLE - NOT GERMINATION TESTED

 Life cycle: Perennial

'Huancabamba' is a tall, stately, columnar cactus from Peru, said to be a Peruvian torch cactus (Trichocereus peruvianus). Closely related to — and possibly a hybrid with — the more well-known San Pedro cactus (Trichocereus pachanoi), both species have a long history of use as medicine and in spiritual/shamanistic practices. Like San Pedro, this species contains mescaline, the hallucinogenic substance that gives peyote its potency, though torch cactus contains far less mescaline than peyote and is legal to grow and possess. Huancabamba is a town in northern Peru, in the foothills of the Andes, and is widely considered a major spiritual center thanks to the presence of lagoons above the town that are regarded as sacred as well as the large number of traditional healers (curanderas & curanderos) who practice there.

Peruvian torch cacti are fast-growing (up to 18 inches per year) and can get very tall in the wild (up to nearly 20 feet!). They take well to container culture and can stand being overwatered more than most cacti. They are relatively frost hardy, able to withstand temperatures down to 26 degrees, but they are unlikely to be able to survive year-round below USDA Zone 9. Their white flowers are spectacularly beautiful.

We got our seed from our friends at Sheffield's Seed Company in Locke, NY, who report that it was grown in Florida. There are some questions online about whether or not the 'Huancabamba' strain of Peruvian torch cactus is actually a hybrid with San Pedro cactus (Trichocereus pachanoi), so it wouldn't be unexpected to find some diversity among the seedlings these seeds produce.

GROWING TIPS: Seeds are surprisingly easy to grow, needing no pre-treatment of any kind. They do require light to germinate, so they should be surface-sown. Keep moist until seedlings appear.

Fits perfectly
I have a 48-50 chest, with very long arms (38") and find it almost impossible to find a shirt that fits. Although the shirt is a little long (it gets tucked in so not really an issue), it is one of the best, and most economically priced dressed shirts I have ever found. Highly recommend it!

Wrinkle free? More like perma-wrinkle
I bought a similar shirt last year, and it was not as bad as this shirt, but the new one performs terrible. It feels like good quality and fits well. The problem is the stain free and the wrinkle free. The shirt stains, easily. However, due to whatever manufacturing process they use, traditional treatments do nothing. They just bead up and run off. My guess is whatever stained it in the first place is supposed to do this, but no. Worse is the wrinkle free. Just the opposite. I have followed the care instructions to the letter. But when the shirt comes out of the dryer it is no where ready to wear. So I iron it. I have no problem with this. After ironing I noticed that, while the shirt looks fine from a distance, up close you can see wrinkles all through the shirt. For instance, shirts wrinkle and crease on the sleeves when you roll up the cuffs (which I often do). Well, even after washing & ironing these wrinkles and creases are still there. Somewhat faintly, but they are there. So while the fabric appears ironed, you can see these wrinkles as if they are a pattern on the shirt. After several washings they are still there. Makes the shirt unwearable. Now I have to replace it.
