First Cacti In Collection, Tricho, Panchoi!?

[Μορφέας]

I got a few cuttings last night, kindly donated by an aquantance

They look like Trichocereus Panchoi to me

Any second oppinons?

[SaBReT00tH]

they look very scop like (due to the thin ribs and wider valleys in between the ribs). Like a Pachanoi vs Scop hybrid. Otherwise possibly a dehydrated Pachanoi I guess.

Looks like pachanoi to me, but it hasn't had an easy life. I have a 1m+ pach which was grown in a 15cm pot which looks like that, with the narrow ribs. Have put it in the ground so with a bit of luck it'll fatten up nicely.

Looks a bit scop like from the top??

[mr b.caapi]

i reckon its a pachanoi.

Yeah I'd say pachanoi. You can see a glaucous coating on the cactus which scopulicola do not produce. Scops are usually a darker green too and if they are a lighter green its usually a more 'khaki' ish colour than the virbant blue/lime green seen in the cactus in the last pic.

The one thing that makes it look scop-like to me, is the 5 ribs. Thats rare for pachanoi, but very common for scop. Still, I've had 5 ribbed pachanoi branches before so I see no reason to call it scop based on that alone.

That said, the first 3 pics do make the cacti look more scop like than the last photo of the tip. Maybe there is a mix of scop and pach clones.

Looks like the common sort of T. pachanoi. The smaller tip is a bit deceiving, but if it is the same as the longer limbs then it is the common T. pachanoi.

Well make sure you keep a little cutting growing! If your mate says it's potent, then you'll wish you had more!

Oh it's definitley an 'active' trichocereus / San Pedro...It's just a question of getting down to the nitty gritty of it. The effects won't tell you if its pachanoi or not...there are many active Trichocereus species.
