The shop is closed just now. The shop is not open for orders yet. Everything here is real and grown in my own yard — have a look around — but I am not taking money until the last few things are in place. Ask about a plant

Cerdanyola-A3

Partially documented

Fast and practically spineless as an adult — and, despite the name, unrelated to A1.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

Other TrichocereusNamed clone: One original plant and every cutting taken from it, given a name by a grower.

Of the 4 things this page says, 1 names who reports it and 3 are marked as something we cannot confirm. Where a line is not settled, it says so underneath.

what the record holds

No source in this library records a cross for Cerdanyola-A3. 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.

Character

A bar is drawn only where one of the lines below states it — never from the species, never from a photograph.

  • slow and steady to fast grower: this one leans towards fast grower, read from the growth line below.
  • nearly smooth to heavily spined: this one leans strongly towards nearly smooth, read from the spines line below.
  • Not documented yet.

Spines
Practically none once adult.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
Growth habit
Ordinary width, and fast.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Ordinary stem width with quick growth is well within the range Trichocereus routinely shows.

What the sources say

The shared prefix says where the plants were found, not that they are related.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

Drawing of two plain Trichocereus columns of different heights, standing for the wider genus rather than one plant.
A Trichocereus column, drawn. We don't grow this one, and we will not borrow anybody else's photograph of it.

Cultivar histories in this hobby are passed between growers; where sources disagree we say so rather than pick a side.
