Abstract
A new graft cactus (Chamaecereus silvestrii f. variegata) cultivars "Yellow Ttree" was developed at Cactus Research Institute, Gyeonggi-do A.R.E.S. in 2007. GC013001 and GC0110703 were crossed in 2005 and we got 42 seedlings from this combination. After pedigree selection in 2005, one cultivar were finally selected through the test of specific character in 2007 and named as "Yellow Ttree". "Yellow Ttree" has cylindrical shape of yellow color with 13~14 ribs. Formation of its offshoots is concentrated on the lower part of the plant. This cultivar is able to produce 13.9 offsets shoots per plant and its offshoots are hard.
