Stillman Posted January 19, 2012 some of the big Trichos have some evil spines big T spach are real nasty to handle from my own experience, but there are probably more vicious. prickly pear has a love that keep giving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted January 20, 2012 At the moment, it clearly is Trichocereus/Helianthocereus Poco. I have a huge one and with the pot, its so heavy i can hardly move it. And the countless spines are extremely dangerous. I already cringe when i think about taking it outside next summer. :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
