they look like Trichocereus knuthianus to me but you know I'm still a freshman when it comes to Cactus ID compared some others here.... nice plants though...swap ya something for a small cutting one day when you are ready ..

yeah looks like the 'aussie' knuthianus. there is some contention as to the true ID of this plant.

I just had a look at one of those threads.. Looks like a lot of hard work! ;)

I have renamed this thread to reflect the uncertainty

Yeah knuthianus though some call it knubianus neither is an officialy recognised taxon but we all know what we're talking about. I'd put it somewhere closer to the cuzco than peru & its potency shows the same, good if you got long hair ;), I guess.

Gonna try it for grafting, gotta be good for something. Find its very slow to get going from cuttings but bigger plants are still on the slow side.

Certainly is a looker though, quite distinct once you get to know her she's got her own personality.
