[ID] Rather large cacti

Question

Hey,

I was just driving home from a mates house and went down a different street than I usually do and came across these. They were kind of hard to miss, they stuck out like a sore thumb.

Is anyone able to identify them? The large one seems to have been cut at some point and has dried/rotted out it looks like.

Thanks

Hi Executi0n, 1+2+3 are Marginatocereus Marginatus and 4+5 are Trichocereus Spachianus. bye Eg

Hi Evil Genius!

Thanks for that. I thought that the smaller ones looked familiar to the Trichocereus family.

I must admit, I like the looks of those ones compared to the Marginatocereus cacti, but that could be because those aren't as 'healthy looking'.

Cheers

Yeah, there are a few more around them, but those were a more 'picture perfect' bunch.

Haha, that it is! And yeah, that is exactly where they are :)
