Notch
A very thick New Zealand pachanoi that strongly resembles PC.
The following are comments from Ross Garau about his acquisition of Notch:
"This was the mother plant before it was cut down to a stump by the owner. One day it was there and next day it was not.
[The stump:]
A while later I decided to call in and see what happened to it and there it was, cut down and laying in a heap. Unloved. 😔
But he said I could take it to save him the hassle and dump fees so I crammed it all in our vehicle. Despite having 3 kids in the car I was still able to fit it all in.💪
Took em home and planted them. They are fattening up again but it has taken a long time.
It is prone to black spots from humidity." -RG"This was the death pile of Notch. When I see cactus stacked up with no protective layer in between them it hurts my eyes."
