Trichocereus ID

[Malverde]

Hi

I know a Cactus Heaven garden where these beauties grow. As the winds break them, I sometimes take fallen broken trunks from the ground before they end in the garbage.

I am not very good telling if they are T. bridgesii, pachanoi, an hybrid like Trichocereus bridgesii X Trichocereus peruvianus, or another species.

Not all are the same clon.

I have a few, and young spines are bright yellow.

Some plants have long spines in the lower parts while lack spines in the upper sections.

This one is in the same garden. It is somtheing like a T. terscheckii, T. pasacana or another species. I don't know.

Greetings.

Hi Malverde, first picture looks PC Pachanoi but is probably just the upper part of a very thick Bridgesii, second Picture mostly shows Bridgesiis on the right and some Pachanoi in the middle, third might be cuzcoensis or knuthianus but too far away, fourth Pachanoi (non PC), 5-7 Bridgesii (is this the same plant as the one in the first? If so, the first is definitely Bridgesii too. I know they kinda look like a Pachanoi but that´s just how very thick Bridgesiis look like and there are very little Pachanois with such long spines), 8-11 Pachanoi, last one probably Pasacana or Terscheckii but with that shot not possible to say for sure.

Most of the pictures are of Trichocereus Bridgesii, a very typical looking clone! The poster child.

The ones that grow a bit fatter, and long spines of mostly even length is usually classified as Peruvianus (the bridgesii almost always have one thorn that's significantly longer than the others).

Then I see some very cool variety of San Pedro!

I'm not sure what the last one is, but it looks heavy! I live in Arizona so my first instinct is Saguaro, but clearly it's not after inspecting the thorns! I'd be interested to hear other's ID.

Hi, thanks everybody. Specially to Evil Genius and Derkshaman.

At first I thought most of them could be bridgesii, or bridgesii hybrids, but actually I have no idea.

The problem is that in some trunks in the lower section you can find many long spines, but in the top section it is spineless.

Two more pics from the same garden:

Greetings, and thank you again.

P.D.: Hi theuserformallyknownasd00d. It is in Spain.

There are lots of trichocereus that are like that when they mature. eileen does that and some pachanois display it too when they mature.
