====== Fields Pach ======
{{clones:f:media:fields_pach:08d94fbb2284532c.jpg?400}}

===== Description =====
Fields Pach (also known as Fields Garden Pachanoi or FGP) is a Trichocereus clone characterized by a wavy rib pattern and encased spines. Morphologically, it has been compared to clones like 'Ogun' or 'Anita'. While some growers note superficial similarities to the Predominant Cultivar (PC), it is distinguished by its more defined pachanoi features and distinct rib structure.

===== History & Origin =====
This clone originates from the historic Field's Cactus and Succulent Garden in Australia. Its exact botanical lineage remains a subject of community debate. Some community members associate it with Ecuadorian *aguacolla* imports, while others speculate it may have historical ties to *Trichocereus riomizquensis* (with some lore suggesting it shares an origin with the cutting that became PC) or was once labeled as 'bridgesii brevispinus' within the Fields collection. 

===== Cultivation Notes =====
No specific cultivation quirks were detailed in the community discussion. Standard Trichocereus cultivation practices apply: grow in a gritty, well-draining soil mix, provide ample sunlight, and water deeply only when the soil has completely dried out. When used in hybridization, the clone is noted for producing hardy offspring with high genetic variability, frequently passing on a dominant jagged sawtooth rib trait.

===== Community Discussion & Citations =====
//The community discussion primarily revolves around distinguishing Fields Pach from the common PC (Predominant Cultivar) clone. While some hobbyists suggest it shares genetic traits or growth habits with PC, experienced growers point out distinct morphological differences, such as its wavy ribs and encased spines, aligning it closer to classic Ecuadorian pachanoi phenotypes. There is also discussion regarding its breeding behavior, where it behaves similarly to PC crosses by producing highly variable offspring.//

===== Credibility Notes =====
Tanner An Destiny was assigned a high confidence score due to providing specific, verifiable morphological comparisons (referencing 'Ogun' and 'Anita' phenotypes) rather than general speculation. Chris Hughes was rated highly for providing a definitive botanical classification of the clone as an Ecuadorian *aguacolla*.
