A special clone of variegated scopulicola grown and selected by Gary Wilson. 

This came to me as “Trichocereus scopulicola long spine” from MSS. 

From Kakster. One of two clones I received from him. "Seeds originally collected by the Nazi cactlogist Friedrich Ritter who explored remote and dangerous areas of South America, living with impoverished Indians and writing taxonomic descriptions of cacti. As a young man, he fled Mexico to avoid paying pickax-wielding workers when his family's silver mine ran out of silver. He returned to his Fatherland to enlist in the army during World War II. After the war, he wrote books on cactus and philosophy preaching ""the uselessness of sympathy"". He died in the Canary Islands."

From Sherman’s Cactus Garden

This is Misplant’s Trichocereus validus used to produce so many seeds. Sometimes referred to as zalidus to quickly distinguish it from other validus varieties.

Cuttings of this exact Trichocereus validus clone are sometimes available at Cactus Affinity.
