New Zealand-grown genetics

San Pedro Cactus New Zealand grows Trichocereus, Echinopsis and related cacti in Christchurch. Plants from the collection are used for seed production, selected clones and ongoing observation.

Known parents and stable records

Collection numbers identify documented plants, while NZG codes identify seed crosses produced by San Pedro NZ. Seed records remain in the archive after a cross sells out so growers can return later and check parentage.

Practical growing knowledge

The site also brings together cultivation information for New Zealand conditions and practical advice for established cacti, including cactus removal in Christchurch.
