Sexy cacti ID help

Recommended Posts

Hi all. Years ago... Like 10 I think. I bought heaps of seeds of all sorts of things off here at SAB. But some didn't grow etc and I moved and lost some etc. 

anyways ive got this one tall cacti I grew from seed. I think it was the only one to survive. But it's going glorious and has new heads coming out the bottom. 

Can anyone ID it?

Neither. It's Trichocereus cuzcoensis. Back in the day it was commonly mislabeled as peruvianus and sometimes as pachanoi, so you could have bought it as either.

This is actually KK242 Trichocereus cuzcoensis. Nice plant with sick spination.

It´s a collection number from Matucana. KK stands for Karel Knize who is the person who sold those in large quantities in the past 30 years. It´s one of the most common cuzcoensis types.

Years ahead dude. I've wanted every cacti since I was like 13. I left most of my collection with family when I moved. But it's time to get them all again
