====== B2 ======

===== Description =====
There is currently a lack of detailed morphological data regarding the "B2" clone's physical characteristics, such as rib count, spine length, spine color, or specific epidermis coloration. However, given its documented association with the same South Australian garden that produced the famous "Bruce" clone (a notable monstrose //Trichocereus bridgesii//), it is highly probable that "B2" shares similar genetic alliances, potentially exhibiting //Trichocereus bridgesii// or hybrid characteristics.

===== History & Origin =====
The "B2" clone was introduced to the community by Ben T. Sheehan. According to Sheehan, the specimen originates from the same garden in South Australia (SA) associated with "MLG," which is also the origin of the well-known "Bruce" clone.

There is minor community speculation regarding whether "B2" refers to a specific chemotype or a hybrid, but its physical provenance is tied directly to the MLG garden.

===== Cultivation Notes =====
No specific cultivation requirements were detailed in the community discussion. In the absence of specialized instructions, standard care for Australian-sourced //Trichocereus// species should be observed:
* **Soil:** A highly gritty, well-draining mineral mix (at least 50% pumice, perlite, or gravel).
* **Watering:** Deep watering during the active spring and summer growing seasons, allowing the substrate to dry out completely between waterings. Keep dry during winter dormancy.
* **Light:** Bright, filtered sunlight to full sun, depending on local UV intensity.

| 2024 (approx) | Ben T. Sheehan | 8 | "It came from me... from the garden Bruce comes from MLG in SA." |

===== Credibility Notes =====
Ben T. Sheehan is assigned a high confidence score (8/10) because he is the direct source who distributed the clone and provided first-hand provenance details, correcting his own initial statement to ensure historical accuracy regarding the MLG garden in South Australia.
