The longer version

Most call the plants santaensis, and the batch is reportedly wildly variable — short-spined, red-spined and selections are offered out of the same grow.

Where it comes from

Reportedly seed collected at the Chavin de Huantar temple site in Peru and distributed by Chavin Herbalists, then grown out by the sellers themselves.

Drawing of two plain Trichocereus columns of different heights, standing for the wider genus rather than one plant.

Every photo shows another grower how this one really grows. Thank you.
