I don't think it is that to be honest, Echinopsis tarijensis maybe?

Definitely not tarijensis! my guess would be trichocereus huascha or a hybrid with it?

I picked them up a year ago online...........trichocereus huascha is thinner ~75mm dia......

echinopsis schickendantzii....has the thickness but not quite the look........

I would not have thought Echinopsis tarijensis....but images look identical when young...

I had a 1m long 1, rotted at the base....saved it but lost a lot of it....be great if it was...I actually just planted some seed thinking I didn't have it...but its not good with frost? & they were outside I think?

thanks for all the input... :)

These Cacti are hard to ID because they can look very similar under certain conditions. It think it´s a Weberbauerocereus Johnsonii. The Alternative would be Trichocereus Schickendantzii.
