Trichocereus Lookalikes Archive Thread

Question

Hi Guys, lets use this thread as an archive thread for pics of Trichocereus lookalikes.

Those are the links that Trout posted earlier today but i think we should enclude em here as well as they look very similar to Trichs! Please feel free to add pics of cacti that someone could mistake for a Trichocereus species in here!


Another one that people sometimes mistakenly label as Trichocereus is Stenocereus Griseus. I once bought a huge one on ebay that was labeled Trichocereus Peruvianus.

Harrisia jusberti doesn't look like any trichocereus i've seen. Maybe slightly like T. brevispinulosus.

lol , if only they wdve been buddies, I gave em a chance tho , - too much pushy pushy with the paying for membership

and answering my questions with: "sign up for membership ...

pay: such and such" to get priveledges to such and such... agh go write a fkn book -lol

and they cant even get square pots right

at least some of the humans there were awesome on the forum ...

but then i guess that's the uk for ya ...

... doesnt look so nice on their pics ,

maybe I'll skip that one but thanks :)

you just saved me from the trouble of hunting something that ultimately ... looks awful!!!!(to my eye)

compared to a proper tricho... and put me right off wasting prescious tricho space for one....

seems there's only that pic i posted of it where i think it looks good

anyhoo another lookie likey to my eye.... this one even has lower-areole "tuft" spines like your validus,

and nice strong centrals.... luckily, and to the advantage of my "spidey senses" :wink: :

this one doesn't have hairy flowers..

is there anything that has looked like one to you once to add? - that you have seen?

would be great to compile em all , and look back and laff at what a noob can think when they dn have too much clue yet?

in honesty ; my noob's eye first thunk bridgesii ...... back when it did, isn't this thread to help noobs rule out non-tricho's?

if not, it is doing all the same as a by product of it's original intention

to me it looks just as much like a tricho as does a myrtilocactus geometrizans, which is near the beginning of the thread, but here's one of minepost-14443-0-45823300-1416952941_thumb.j

Oreocereus hempelianus - from an amazing shop in berlin

$_1.JPG

this one screamed taquimbalensis so hard I almost bought it...

probably will do one day - lol

-hardly looks like anything on google images search for "oreocereus hempelianus" tho but then there are a lot of dehydrated wild specimens on there
