0 zed240 Posted December 2, 2015 Hi TPM, welcome. Your plants look like they are Trichocereus pachanoi rather than "peruvian torch". "Peruvian torch" usually refers to Trichocereus peruvianus which has longer spines and looks a little different to these. Very nice plants you have. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 TPM Posted December 2, 2015 Hi King Bolete, thanks for the welcome and the feedback. It seems the plants do well since I moved in, they grew already 10cm. SA seem to be the correct climate for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 zelly Posted December 2, 2015 imho I disagree with Zed, I believe the plants are a form of short spine peruvianus, the key giveaway is the presence of wool at the aeroles, something not typically seen on pachanoi's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 mr b.caapi Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) Pachanoi is my guess. Even Pach x Scop? Edited December 2, 2015 by mr b.caapi 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 wert Posted December 2, 2015 doesn't make me feel hungry thats for sure. but never mind I have awesome chicken breasts and salad and we went berserk n got fuckin chips from the charcoal chicken shop! the chickens genuine but. at least as far as I know. distance between aeroles should be considered. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Change Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) If someone grows one of these beautiful plants from seed in Australia, when does it become Trichocereus australianus ? Edited December 2, 2015 by Change 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
