It’s true! Our new crop of 1g San Pedros are in stock!
Agave attenuata
Virginia Street, Berkeley
These seem to have come through our rough winter pretty nicely! Possibly because they’re up aginst a house, in a somewhat protected spot, under an eave. Good job!
Aeoniums Schwartzkopf and arboreum, #2744, in the Sunset, near the beach, in San Francisco California!
Leucadendron “Safari Goldstrike”
Cedar Street, Berkeley
I have no idea if this is just something someone told us this was called, but we’ve been growing a few of these extra fat San Pedros and they are ready for sale. Echinopsis pachanoi “Big Bob”. Is this a real name? Did we just make this up? Don’t know! But since we are not currently cultivating them and since I can’t get a confirmation on the name, I’m not adding it to our online encyclopedia. Enjoy them while you can!
Agave attenuata at the Port of San Francisco. So many Agaves! 😀
Agave attenuata blooms just starting out.

Aeonium arboreum massing in wood planter boxes at the family friendly Spark Social food truck park in Mission Bay. Everything is delicious.
This one is Aloe “Safari Rose” which I almost like as much as the other Aloe Safaris. But my new macro lens does a pretty good job up close on those rosy flowers! Thanks, Dad.
I want you all to know that just because I write these blog posts in a first-person chatty style doesn’t mean that I’m a chatty AI bot, I’m a real person! I have real feelings and likes and dislikes too. And I like these Safari series Aloes. This one is Aloe “Safari Orange”.
Leuchtenbergia principis really throws that whole artichoke discussion out the window. This one is the Agave Cactus. The Cactus Agave? The Artichoke Agave Cactus? I can’t keep it all straight anymore. These are small right now, but will grow big and fat. Like an articho… agav… …like a cactus.
Obregonia denegrii looks enough like an artichoke that some people call it the Artichoke Cactus, not to be confused with Agave parryi truncata which is known as the Artichoke Agave. Maybe instead of comparing unrelated plants to artichokes, we should call the delicious and valuable artichoke the Pulque Vegetable.
Sedum “Firecracker” turns rusty red colors in the fall, any day now!
Echeveria “Red Baron” was only available at our Marin store. But now it’s in Berkeley too!
Buy now for local delivery? Yes!
Crassula ovata “Sunset” have had a bit of a rough month with the recent heat, but this one looks good!
Hello
While visiting Santa Barbara Mission I came across this plant. Questions
Is it an agave? Is it always red or only because it’s outside and in direct sun ?
Or Is it red due to maturity?
Inquisitive minds want to know
Thanks

Not sure where this question comes to us from, but the signs outside the window may provide a clue.
hey there, i just bought a thin tall cactus that i really wanna take good care of but none of the apps or interent helped me out in identifying it- Any reccomendations would be lovely, thanks a lot!
Have a great day,

Hi Cactus Jungle,
May I ask, do you know why this cactus body is become black spot?
I just bought my plant last week. Yesterday I clean the brown patch (dead scale) from the cactus body.. However, the spot that I clean become black spot.. Today I tried to clean that again and scratch & wipe it using alcohol. However the wound is turn to black again.. Is it normal? Is it a disease and can it spread to next plant? Do I need to repot the plant?
