What's this? i thought it was a scop..

[Coschi]

Well I found this house with some beautiful massive cacti, so i went to a few of them today. One of the owners was home and was more than happy for me to take a massive chunk of what i thought was a t.scopulicola but it certainly doesn't look like it..

Any thoughts?

I still like it though!

Pity, it's not the healthiest, it actually has some hollow spots like the one above..

Hi Coschi! Thats Stenocereus (Marginatocereus, Pachycereus) marginatus! bye Eg

[watertrade]

nice looking plant.

[Coschi]

Funny, when i got close to it i just knew it wasn't active

The guy was more than insistent that i took a piece and considering i already asked I thought it'd be worth it still, a nice looking fatboy to add to the collection.

Anyone want to trade for a scop!?!?!?!

hmm.. in time i'll have my scop

[mu!]

fuck scops, they're shit

[Hellonasty]

Looks to have bugs too. Looks like scale and possibly some kind of borer! Keep it away from your other cacti.

[Coschi]

any treatment I can give it?

[toby]

Variable would probably be a better description of scops than 'shit'

Some of them are pretty good!

[mu!]

hahah nah i've just got this thing with scops. some are alright i guess. would rather a nice pachanoi any day though

[apothecary]

Err, who said they aren't active? Do some research.

[Coschi]

You mean the Stenocereus Marginatus is active?

[PD.]

HAHA, mu's deep hatred for scops has nought to do with whether or not a scop is or isn't active, its more akin to the hatred a neo nazi skinhead has for jews and non white folk.

Cactus racism is the worst racism mu you sick bastard.

[mu!]

DEATH TO ALL SCOPS!!! kill em all and let god sort em out

The weird and wonderfull mystical Mexican fence post cactus.

[EDIT]

Some folk abroad calls some thrich the fence post, I got the name from a nursery so now I dont know who's right(Just to avoid misinfo's or possible accidents.)

It's not active is it?

[George]

It's not active is it?

Scop is active. Just how active I would like to know myself. A true scop though not a pachanoi hybrid.

The fence post? Don't think so but then again we won't know untill someone does.
