0 Spanishfly Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Stenocactus is typified by a large number of wavy ribs. That does not appear to be of that genus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Milo Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) Stenocereus, not stenocactus. I accidentally put stenocactus in the title. Edited December 5, 2016 by Milo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 sagiXsagi Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) not totally sure about stenocereus... might be pecten aborigum.. lets see the spines colour when in full growth... its kind of slender for pringley, has it been in full sun? whats the width at the crown?

0 Milo Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) It's shade grown and much thinner than my larger pachycereus pringlei specimens, but I guess the shade could have caused this. The spination during the growing season is bright pink. Crown is 4-5" in diameter. It was given to me last year and I've kept growing it in shade as it was before.
