Trichocereus Pachanoi will grow perfectly
fine without any attention. In that respect it is like planting a
tree. It grows, spreads, all without attention year after year.
These were grown from cuttings sold many years back by Watsonville's
Cactus Kate (deceased).
Some of the column bases are massive; weighing up to 7 pounds/foot
of length.

This stand was so thick that we had to take a pickup truck load
of columns from here. |
 |
The fence is 6 feet tall so you can see these are over 10 high.
When they grow much above that they may break off during a wind
storm. |
 |
Wherever you cut off a column it will sprout offsets
This can be used to advantage in the pruning of a stand. If you
thin out columns leave some in between cut a few feet tall. These
will fill in with multiple new tips/column. |
