sausage ? gallery questions semi answered

[bℓσωηG]

Hi , I have upgraded from my crappy phone camera and some pics I have been posting have been raising a few queries to what strains of Trichocereus they actually are . To be honest im not quite sure exactly, the original clones came from New Zealands south island some years ago, imported by a semi famous guitar player from brazil named Fabricio Sanchez and then passed on to my cousin Peaches who then gave to me one small pup from each of the two differing clones both of which were my first Trichocereii (im not sure what importation protocol was employed at this time)..... they were both the same size when recieved as pups but as i used one for grafting stock ( i didnt have any other material) one is 0ne metre high with four pups and the other is much smaller but has now pupped a nicely skinned/spined pup which some say resembles the sausage/ peruvian.... I do regret having used it as graft stock now because i really like the look of it and it will be some time before it catches up with its sibling... Hope this answers some of the questions for yall ... to me theyre just ''kiwi pedro'' until i can have an analysis dun lol.

Looks so much like the sausage plant it aint funny although i have heard "snags" dont like pupping at tha base. All three of my plants of tha snags variety have only been in a year or 2 so cant say for sure as to basal pups but jebus yours looks like it needs a bbq.

Strangebrew is tha lad to ask imo, come to think of it i havent seen him about of late.

I have numerous sausages. more than half have pupped from the base but this is characteristic of my conditions as a whole. that thing really looks like the sausage plant blowng and yet i would not say for certain. if it terminates next growing season, then it is for sure.

dont know if its growing conditions but the sausage i got off Mr b caapi has redder spines. Lovely cactus for sure.

edit not that im an expert.

Close but it's too ordinary. Snags would've thrown a few ribs changes by now at least.

What conditions do you think encourage basal pupping? Still never seen it here in the ground or in a pot.

Hey blowng, I reckon you were right when you said they looked the same as the Trichocereus from Blenheim that is discussed in the NZ Trichos thread.

Borrowing my girls SLR so i will snap some comparison pics.

Edit:

Not so sure it is the same plant after looking at a couple of the clones I was talking about:
