Zeck,

I think there's something about too-dissimilar vascular rings between the C. g. scion and any possible stock that prevents this - otherwise it (likely) would have been done a long time ago by graftmeisters such as Cactus Jordi and Miles Anderson.

Micro, Now I'm really surprised YOU even asked this question, but you did. So now I have to chime in with this, ( just kidding though.)

Here is one that has been grafted several times over to cut the time to a record 15 years. I was going to add another 5 ft. But I couldn't get a bigger ladder.

Member, just kidding Kiddo.

Pachycereus pringlei is growing much faster than Carnegiea gigantea. So one could try use P. pringlei as understock. I never thought about this possibility before.

Hi microthrix it definitely can be done. I have wondered the same thing.So on another forum site I asked someone posted a pic of their's grafted even to a pereopskis! I must say I was pretty shocked haha. Whether the degraft went successful idk but I have def seen it done.

Check it out

Here is a link that might be useful: Saguaro graft pic

Microthrix,
I ran the same question through my mind recently. My thought was to take 4-5 24' saguaros and graft them (One on top of the other) together and then possibly grafting arms onto it.Don't know how I would support the arms though!

haha that would be sick. Arms would be so hard to graft unless you had plenty 2/4's and made a frame to support them.

I grafted saguaro to campus barrel it is easy , it is one feet long saguaro on the barrel

cactus because rats eat the top of barrel so stopped grow 1.5feet. Now it looks like

snowmen healthy .
