 ===== Description =====
-The name "Baker" in the Trichocereus community primarily refers to "Baker 5452", a phenotype of "Achuma" (botanically classified as //Trichocereus bridgesii//). It typically exhibits classic bridgesii characteristics, including a glaucous green epidermis, prominent ribs, and distinct areoles. Spines are often reported to predominate in clusters of three, though some growers report that it can occasionally exhibit semi-monstrose or "melty" growth.
+The name "Baker" primarily refers to "Baker 5452", a phenotype of Trichocereus bridgesii. It typically exhibits classic bridgesii characteristics, including a glaucous green epidermis, somewhat long bright green to yellow spines typically clustering in three per areole, and typical skinny bridgesii columns. Some growers report that it can occasionally exhibit semi-monstrose or "melty" growth.
 Additionally, there is at least one other distinct clone circulating under the name "Baker" that is genetically separate from the 5452 collection.

 As a clone of Bolivian origin (specifically La Paz, corresponding to USDA Zone 9a), Baker 5452 prefers well-draining soil, deep but infrequent watering, and protection from hard freezes. Like many bridgesii phenotypes, it may show sensitivity to high humidity and excessive moisture, which can cause black humidity spots on the epidermis. Provide bright, filtered sunlight or acclimated full sun.

 ===== Community Discussion & Citations =====
 //The community discussion highlights significant nomenclature confusion. The name "Baker" is frequently used as shorthand for "Baker 5452" in Misplant crosses, which leads to confusion with other distinct clones circulating under the same name.//
