A WORD ABOUT GRAFTED PLANTS

We produce all of our own grafts and are always trying to improve them. We prefer Harrisia jusbertii & Stenocereus griseus for grafting cacti because they are long lived and have a longer growing season than many other species. There is no universal grafting stock, however, so we will be using other species that are found to be superior for specific applications. By grafting we can provide you with rare plants at a reasonable price.
