I initially thought it was a pachanoi, but then it was labelled peruvianus. Mine are only tiny so too early for me to say. Anyone who can clarify it?

" it came from country SA, may be the plant I know as Goliath, fat and blue, an absolute ripper and a very hardy beast. Grows very tall and fat with minimal basal branching compared to other trichs, and the arms are typically very upright. I have not seen it with such long spines but I still believe this is the same plant as spination is highly variable depending on growing conditions across our state."

"I didn't name it Goliath, but the name is fitting. In the 44th post, fourth photo of this post http://www.shaman-au...=1 is a picture of him. I'll let you be the judge of their relationship. My guess is a peruvanoid x ? (scop?) but it is anyone's guess and my feeling is that it has been in Australia for 50+ years and may have come to our country as a cutting true to type and may be a natural hybrid. I have found it only twice in two separate rural gardens. I find this plant to be an excellent architectural statement in the garden. "
