The fastest in one European collection, and its owner's preferred .Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
PachanoiNamed clone: One original plant and every cutting taken from it, given a name by a grower.
Of the 3 things this page says, 1 names who reports it and 2 are marked as something we cannot confirm. Where a line is not settled, it says so underneath.
No source in this library records a cross for Cerdanyola-A1. Nobody names a mother or a father for it, and no other entry here names it as a parent.
That is the record, not an oversight: of the 749 names in this library, 693 have no recorded relation either. Most named clones were selected, cut and passed along without anyone writing down what they came out of. A parent goes in here when a source states it and never because a name looks like one — a wrong pedigree would travel further than a blank one, because pedigrees get copied.
If you know where it came from, tell us — a person reads everything before it appears.

Spines
Nearly spineless.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Near-spinelessness is a common trait in this genus and needs no special explanation.
Growth habit
Fairly fat, and the fastest grower in that collection — one plant regrew to roof height in about two years.Reported, but not confirmed.
What the sources say
No source we have found argues about this name — nobody has written that it is confused with another plant, or that two growers mean different things by it. That is worth knowing in itself.
A Pachanoi column, drawn. We don't grow this one, and we will not borrow anybody else's photograph of it.
