Here's the Trichocereus that I won in the branch raffle and was tentatively identified as T. bridgesii. It has developed nicely over the summer showing what I would hope is normal growth. What think you on the ID now? T. pachanoi?

And here's one that I bought as T. pachanoi but isn't!

Re: Trichocereus again
The one you have as T. pachanoi might be T. bridgesii! I was going to say that the spines were way too short in your first picture. That one looks like Myrtillocactus geometrizans to me but I expect someone will say it's a Stenocereus. I always get them confused.
I got some T. pachanoi plants off ebay for grafting my seedlings. The photo shows some of them. These are much more in character than another one I bought as T. pachanoi, which was identified on the forum as T. macrogonus.

Re: Trichocereus again
Only a negative unfortunately. This is my bridgesii the rib count is the same but there are only three spines. How much the spine count differs I do not know and my friend recons that this example has shorter spines than is usual.
