TBM (Trichocereus Bridgesii Monstrose) [A, B, C, D, Crested, Variegated]

This bridgesii monstrose, the famous "Penis Cactus," is known mainly for its two most common forms: Clone A and Clone B. Although, the 2020s are proving to show a wider distribution of the more exotic clones. These clones come with quite a bit of naming confusion and which letter refers to which form can vary by location. 

Clone A

Known as TBM Long Form, this grows long pups typically with areoles forming on the first few inches giving way to smooth or lightly melty textured growth up to a terminated tip. 

Clone B

Known as TBM Short Form, this grows shorter, thicker pups that can create a bush-like appearance in larger specimens.

Clone C

Separate from the Crested/Cristata form there is a Clone C form from Sacred Succulents. 

Clone D

Another Clone from Sacred Succulents. 

Crested/Cristata
