Merlin – Kriso × Jessica
Merlin is a standout Kriso × Jessica cross that lives up to its name. This selected clone brings a rare combination of classic San Pedro structure with subtle Peruvian Torch-like influence, creating a unique and visually captivating cultivar.
Genetically rooted in Trichocereus pachanoi, Merlin expresses a slightly more dramatic profile than typical Pachanoi. It develops unusually long thorns that hint at Trichocereus peruvianus-style traits, yet maintains an overall smooth, elegant presence.
Despite its impressive spine length, Merlin carries a gentler visual flow, an almost ethereal appearance. Among its siblings, it clearly emerged as the top performer due to its structure, vigor, and distinctive character.
