Good finds.

Hard to tell what species #1 is, but definitely Trichocereus.

#2 I would guess as pach/scop hybrid, or similar.

#3 is two different plants, the leftmost branches being probably some sort of Cereus or similar and the middle obviously much fatter and different hue of green being a Trichocereus macrogonus/peruvianus or similar.

#4, #5 I assume to be different angle shots of the same plants.

Agree for the most part.

#1 the damage is rather severe sunburn - suspect a tree or fence removed from in front of it recently.

I'd almost say without hesitation that #2 is a pach var Juuls giant

4 and 5 look to be an awesome example of cereus sp

1 looks a bit like T. peruvianus "Rosei" vvvvvvery shekshie

2 looks like a plain old pachanoi to me

Id say 1 3 4 5 are all the same plants, peruvi and a cereus with the pach in the background of pic 4.

If it is in your care, then yes I would definitely prune the rotting sections, and dose the cuts with sulphur.. Otherwise ask the owner if you can - it would help prevent the rot spreading to other areas.

If it's summer where you are right now it _might_ be ok to leave, but if it's winter I would prune.
