When people nowadays mention “Oaxaca” on social media, they generally mean so-called “field-collected” specimens (genjikyū, or wild forms) of Agave oteroi A. oteroi . However, this can include not only truly wild plants but also those cultivated under local nursery management and even wild-sourced seedlings. After a 2019 scientific paper clarified both the definition and natural range (Oaxaca) of oteroi, various forms of oteroi collected from the area began to circulate in the trade. Plants that have survived 10 or even 20 years in their native habitat typically sport thick, fierce spines even on their dead leaves, and their bodies are covered in scars. While scars and dead leaves may disappear and the plant may become more aesthetically “clean” after two or three years in cultivation, one of the real attractions of wild-collected plants is the chance to select individuals whose unique spines, curves, and overall character are already “fully developed.”
