Delorean seal. Plain ring: nothing here sets a rib count, a spine length or a growth form the ring can mark.

Delorean
Partially documented
A that simply prefers shade — it slows down and bleaches in full sun.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Every source here reports it slows and bleaches in full sun and does better shaded.
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, 3 name who reports them and 1 is 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 Delorean. 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.

What the sources say
Worth holding beside the general rule that full sun makes longer spines and blockier growth: this clone is the documented exception that a light rule cannot cover every plant.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Every source here reports it slows and bleaches in full sun and does better shaded.
