I'd be grateful if someone could identify this root stock for me, please - I appreciate its a tall order, but I'm sure someone on here will know!
The only identifying feature I can come up with is that it is five sided. The Uebelmannia grafted atop it is long since dead, and I was going to throw it out but the root stock has now started growing a lovely little pup... I would like to remove the pup and try to root it, so my other request is for any advice on how long to leave it before I try to remove it, what sort of size should I let it get to?
Many thanks in anticipation.
can anyone identify this root stock please?

Let that pup grow to about twice its current size, then chop and root. It should take quite easily.

It is an Harrisia for sure and with the stock being square in shape I think Phil is spot on with justbertii .
