mutant Posted June 3, 2012 it was a scarred specimen that I got cheaper, but still expensive if you think about it. I intended to cut it, maybe not so much, but its done now and another much smaller in case you winder, thats how you carry such giants This came as pasacana from the nursery ownder I got them from, but they are clearly not sospiny to be termed such. I am rather at either terscheckii or validus lines... or rather the big tescheckii and the small validus... what do you think people? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) Hi Mutant, nice plants. Would say Terscheckii. Can you make a pic of new spine growth on the bigger one? The one you´ve cut! Edited June 3, 2012 by Evil Genius 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 bit Posted June 4, 2012 Nice plants mutant, the first I'm especially intrigued by. Are you sure the second is a tricho? BTW, a much easier way to transport is with a hand truck and some shopping bags ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 dionysus Posted June 4, 2012 the second one almost looks like a hugely plump knuthianus type, maybe a terscheckii x knuth? just a wild guess, but looks like something like that to me 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) Definately not Knuthianus and im pretty sure its not a hybrid in the classical sense either. Intermediate maybe. Its one of the andean Trichos that come from the Terscheckii/Validus/Werdermannianus group. Backeberg would probably call it Helianthocereus.

0 mutant Posted September 28, 2012 this is the less spiny and smaller one I have come up to name it validus. its pretty fatty, but the spination is rather scarce the bigger one, a 'black rot' plagued clone of T.terscheckii. I wonder if it might be interesting .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
