Cutting ID please

[ydna976]

Spotted a huge cactus on one of our neighbors and immediately asked for a cutting. I was wondering if anyone can help ID because the owner has no idea what it is.

I wasn't able to get a picture of the mother plant, but it was huge (around 5ft or taller) with lots of branches. The cutting is about 2ft-3ft long.

Also, I left the end of the cutting like that (in the picture) do you guys think I should chop it off or leave it as is? I've been letting it callous for a week now.

Pachycereus marginatus (mexican fence post)

I think some kind of cereoid cultivar.

I'd think some common Cereus species - jamacaru or peruvianus

Since it didn't break off cleanly, you should cut it.

This can be some kind of Pilosocereus. Or Pachycereus (Lophocereus) schottii.
