Juice Box is a seed-grown raised by the grower imdavesbud from a Hulk crossed with a scop. The single original seedling was cut up entirely for , so every plant in circulation descends from those grafts rather than from a rooted mother. Growth is blocky and dark green with four or five notched ribs and effectively no spines. The name came from the grower who gave away the seedling, who described a as juicy.Reported, but not confirmed.

ScopulicolaCross: A seed-grown plant from two named parents, written mother × father.
Of the 9 things this page says, 2 name who reports them and 7 are marked as something we cannot confirm. Where a line is not settled, it says so underneath.
Parents: Hulk, Scopulicola family, unconfirmed by our sources; Trichocereus scopulicola, Scopulicola family, unconfirmed by our sources. This cultivar: Juice Box.
Every ring is that plant’s own seal, in its family’s colour — open one to keep going. Arrow keys move between them.
Each plant wears its own seal here, coloured by its family — so a cross shows which side brought what before you read a name. A dashed ring is a plant with no page here yet, and a wire is only ever drawn from a parent somebody wrote down. Children are worked out from the other entries rather than stored on this one, so recording a cross anywhere lights it up on both plants.
The line matters as much as the box. A dashed line is a cross we can report but cannot confirm. Every cross drawn here is at that weakest reading, which is the true state of this plant's record.
Drawn 3 generations each way. Everything our sources record for this plant is in the drawing; the family stops there, not the tree.
The wiki page states the as Hulk x scop and does not identify the second parent more precisely than scop.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
The longer version
Species, as our sources record it: seed-grown scopulicola, stated as a Hulk x scop cross.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.
That seedling was used up entirely in grafting — several slab grafts plus a tip and a butt graft — so every cutting since traces back through a graft.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
Sent a fat degrafted cutting to look at, Mr Yan called it juicy and blocky and proposed the name.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
Its , Hulk, is recorded elsewhere in the community wiki as a spineless scopulicola.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
Where the name comes from
The grower behind it, Dave of imdavesbud, received the original seedling as a gift from a grower called Mr Yan, who remarked that Dave was short on scops.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

Notes
Half of the original grafts came out with four ribs and the rest with five.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.The five-ribbed growth is notched, effectively spineless, dark green, and noticeably plump and blocky.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Notched five-ribbed, near-spineless, dark green blocky growth is well within the range Trichocereus shows.
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 Scopulicola column, drawn. We don't grow this one, and we will not borrow anybody else's photograph of it.
