Please help with identification!

Post by KellyV »

Hello

This was given to me by someone and I think it was purchased in a supermarket in France with no label to help identify it, how to look after it etc. Any identification will be greatly appreciated so I can care for it properly!

Many thanks :)

Kelly

Could it be Pachycereus hollianus f. cristata? Looks very similar to one of my plants. Came labeled from grower (Altman) as Stenocereus hollianus cristata.
