Grabbed some cuttings of this beast today, its quite heavily armed. I was thinking Stenocereus sp. but have to trawl thru some images. Anyone seen it before?

Yep, Stenocereus griseus I'm pretty sure.

very pretty, I say it is not a griseus but Stenocereus pruinosus

this is clearly the same plant however it is labeled Stenocereus griseus, I think it should probably be called pruinosus.

Stenocereus griseus has shorter spines I think but it too can have those beautiful red-spined tips from memory.

in the first pic it looks to thin for an Stenoc griseus - has it not been watered well??

Looks like a stenocerues.

I am from a place where Stenocerues griseus originally grows, and they stay fay almost all year round even if it doesnt rain much.

beautiful cactus nontheless!
