Cactus ID at Ohio State

Post by geotrox »

Any ideas as to the genus/species of this particular cactus?
It is in greenhouse facilities at Ohio State University.
Thanks in advance for any insights!

Yes it's a monstrose Trichocereus as Toadstar says. These is a fair amount of variation in it's spination too.

Were you able to get any cuttings by chance, or inquire into it? Also any specific info on where it is exactly on campus, I'd like to see it myself.
