Big cactus, bad pic

Question

Ok, so I've practically been given this massive cactus. The only catch is I have to leave the garden tidy when I take it away (will require help!)

Pic is really bad (have asked for a better one). Can you ID it though? I think maybe cereus peruvianus mostrose?

Heh, not really a rare genus that.

At least can we establish that it's a cactus, not any other plant (euphorbia?)?

unless its a columner cactus in flower I would say its a euphorbia or something because of all the protrusions?

Any idea what sort of euphorbia gets that big? Seems monstrose to me because of the protrusions :)

Looks alot like a Cereus sp. bit, if you can get a good photo am sure you will get a positive ID.

hmm, Im not sure bit. but after a 2nd look, they definitely look like flower buds, I think the ones at the very top of the columns give it away., so you jst never know we may be looking at a monster tricho'/echino'

Well looks like I'm off to collect this beasty tomorrow :)

Have been informed it has lemony coloured flowers... so probably not tricho.

Will be back with pix this time tomorrow!!

I would expect so - Trademe.co.nz watermark all pics, and that's how I bought the cactus :)
