Seed Source, Viability & Genetics Explained

Hand-harvested under sustainable permits from open-pollinated fruits of wild-sourced ex-situ mother plants near Real de Catorce, ensuring no ecosystem disruption while capturing authentic genetics. “Fresh harvest” denotes collection 2-3 months prior, achieving 90%+ germination in controlled trials—superior due to the variety’s adaptation to extreme aridity and elevation. Genetic purity maintains classic small globose form (3-5cm diameter), woolly axils, and subtle ribbing; factors like precise temperature (28°C optimal) and sterile conditions influence rates, with our pre-tested batches minimizing variability for reliable results.
