cactuscarl Posted October 18, 2013 Hi all can anyone is these? If anyone can confidently I'd this last one I take my hat off to you. I got it as a seed grown pachanoi first pic is old growth and looks kind of pachanoi. The second pic is new growth wtf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M S Smith Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) The first might not even be a Trichocereus...hard to tell, but the spination is "off." The second is straight T. cuzcoensis, while I would guess the third a mutt with T. cuzcoensis in it. Notice the spine similarity between the two, particularly the fat spine bases and there being a long central and a long uppermost spine on both. Pretty common. The fourth plant in the last two shots is probably a mutt too. I'd say with a bit of the PC or T. bridgesii in it. I wouldn't even remove the possibility of it being a PC x T. bridgesii. Hope that helps, but like I've said, the longer these plants are around and being actively breed and sown then there will be a lot less clarity. ~Michael~ Edit - um, "their" to "there." I can't believe I made one of my biggest pet-peeves ever. Edited October 18, 2013 by M S Smith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TommyChesnutt Posted October 18, 2013 I had a luther burbank (peru) x bridgesii that looked like number 5 grew big, spiky and blue before it was sold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hellonasty Posted October 18, 2013 1/ Not really sure, Borzicactus is a possibilty. 2/ I'm thinking a hybrid with Cuzco lineage 3/ Is the same as the first plant, Borzicactus ? 4/ I'm of the opinion the last plant is a hybrid but has the majority of it's family lines are in the Brigdesii lineage.

cactuscarl Posted October 19, 2013 Hey guys thanks for the replies I was going to say yous were way off saying 1 and 3 werent trichocereus but then i looked up borzicactus and it does look very similar to number one. I still think three is a trichocereus tho. Also forgot to mention that no. 5 shoots random bent spines every now and then like some Montrose thing. Most are dead strait but about 10% come out either curved or wavy or strait with a bend and point in all different directions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hellonasty Posted October 19, 2013 Cactuscarl, Bent and wavy spines are common among all cacti of the creoid family and could be due to environment, cultivation factors or genetics. However this is not a good indicator to use for ID purposes since it is a varying trait that many plants can possess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
