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

Wai Uhane
Partially documented
Wai Uhane is a Hawaiian traced back to a stand planted at a property in the 1970s, kept alive in pots by a local nursery owner after the original plants went. A vendor began propagating it in 2020 and it only reached mainland collectors around 2023, which is why so few growers knew the name. Its one recorded trait is how freely it pups; nothing about its ribs, spines or colour has been written down.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

Of the 8 things this page says, 1 names who reports it and 7 are 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 Wai Uhane. 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.
The longer version
That in-ground stand no longer exists, but a local nursery owner kept the line going in pots.Reported, but not confirmed.
The vendor Alohagrafts began propagating it in 2020, and it stayed largely out of circulation until specimens started shipping to mainland collectors around 2023.Reported, but not confirmed.
Where the name comes from
The clone comes from Hawaii, where by the account passed down from its propagator a resident planted the original line at a property in the 1970s.Reported, but not confirmed.

Growth habit
Exceptionally prolific, throwing pups constantly.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Heavy basal pupping is well within the range Trichocereus shows.
Notes
The wiki page records no count, spine length or colour.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
What the sources say
The 1970s planting is an account relayed through two people rather than a documented date. The wiki page is bot-compiled and unverified.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
