For one of the better-known monstrose names in the hobby, the community reference has nothing on file. What we know about TPM comes from elsewhere.Reported, but not confirmed.

This cultivar: TPM. Children: Beyond Pineapple, Hybrid family, TPM is recorded as its pollen parent — unconfirmed.

Every ring is that plant’s own seal, in its family’s colour — open one to keep going.

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 longer version

Species, as our sources record it: Trichocereus pachanoi, monstrose.

A specialist reference records five crosses made from this plant in 2012 by the grower who holds it, one of them written as TPQC by TPM — which is the this library already carries under the name Beyond Pineapple, now corroborated by a second account.Reported, but not confirmed.

What the record holds

The wiki page was created by the nursery MediCactus and left unfinished: the description is a placeholder and the only content is an embedded video.Reported, but not confirmed.

Skin
One monstrose pachanoi line tends to stay green rather than turning blue.
Growth habit
Most of that line are "non-displaying" — they look like an ordinary column while still carrying the monstrose genes. Some pieces here split in two as they grow.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.
Notes
Seedlings from that line start showing monstrose traits at about one and a half to two years, in roughly a quarter to a third of plants. One of the most frequently listed names on the sales subreddit, carried by a large number of separate sellers.Reported, but not confirmed.

What the sources say

Our own notes carry substantial TPM material from other sources - the abbreviation's meaning, the tendency of some cuttings to look normal, the rate at which crosses show monstrose traits, and how widely the name is listed on the sales subreddit - while the wiki page is blank.Reported, but not confirmed.The abbreviation is not settled. The reference that documents the plant expands it as a monstrose and says in the same breath that the hobby usually calls it a pachanoi monstrose, so the letters have covered more than one reading.
