ID Bridgesii or Peruvianus??

[magical9]

Do these separate cuttings look very simliar to ya'll? The first one is being sold as a bridgesii while the remaining pics are of what i was sold as a peruvianus. This cutting came from a cactus farm loaded with bridgesii but had this gigantic "peruvnianus" in the back. Is mine maybe a bridgesii? Just looks so similar to me!

That looks more like a bridgesii to me. It's huge though. Maybe it's a hybrid like Bridgesii x peruvianus.

[M S Smith]

Yeah, both are very unique looking. Mutts?

I saw that first one for sale, first as a bridgesii cv. 'centipede' then it was being sold as a bridgesii x peruvianus 'Lumberjackus' (not sure why?) and see it being sold under the original name again. Whatever it is, it looks interesting and has some pretty hefty spines. Probably a hybrid of some sort as everything seems to be nowadays

Saw a very similar Tricho on the Pics from one of the Sacred Succulents Field Trips. It´s probably a natural hybrid between a Brigesii and a Peruvianus. Apart from that, very large Bridgesii´s can become very fat and it´s not out the question for me that this is just a cutting from a very large Bridgesii. Whatever it is, it´s an Awesome Plant. Would walk through the desert to get a cutting.

Second one is probably not a Trichocereus. I think it´s Browningia Pilleifera.

guys, the size of a plant is determined by its growing conditions & I have several fat bridgesii, they're not that big a deal.

eileen grows quite fat, and then there's big bertha:

[hostilis]

Yeah, so it probably is a bridge then.

Was that grown in the ground magical9?

[magical9]

Ya my cutting (the 2nd - last pics) was planted in ground, full sun. about 30-40 yards from a big patch of bridgesii.

Wrong, that was a mexican fence post (Pachycereus marginatus)

[Evil Genius]

Yep, Right, it´s Pachycereus Marginatus.
