dawnbeaver Posted December 2, 2013 I was given this and think it could be a Trichocereus scopulicola, anyone familiar with this type? It has been in my garden but was recently potted up in preparation for grafting a loph on to it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Tio Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) Hi dawnbeaver, As Stillman said: Looks like a T. scopulicola. The very short spines and fat ribs give it away. Edited December 2, 2013 by Tio 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 trucha Posted December 10, 2013 My favorite recommendation on how to recognize a scopulicola came from a friend in NSW who said something like "Just grab it with your hand." If its a scopulicola a person typically gets no punctures. Not foolproof but what is? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Quixote Posted December 13, 2013 I usually recognize Scopulicola by the smooth curve of the ribs towards the tip. Also, the ribs grow from a neat and precise point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 AndyAmine. Posted December 14, 2013 Scop also had harder, rougher skin than most others, a light rub/tap of a finger nail will give it away. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 mutant Posted December 15, 2013 Ι agree with comments short spines but not always as short as this characteristic pheotype of the more roundish rib-shape, always few ribs 4-5-6 most often and different skin , more "matt" skin than pachanois, less glossy that is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Quixote Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) I don't know why, I just always loved the shape of Scopulicola. Seems more elegant than the regular rough and tumble charm of the Pach. Maybe it's the chamomile tea speaking, but to me they are like the Lady and the Tramp Edited December 19, 2013 by Quixote 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
