===== Description =====
"Fabrante" refers to a group of distinct Trichocereus clones sourced from the same locality. Rather than a single clone, the name represents multiple distinct phenotypes:
   * **Fabrante Peru 1**: A //Trichocereus peruvianus// phenotype.
   * **Fabrante Peru 2**: A notably glaucous, blue-tinted //Trichocereus peruvianus// phenotype.
   * **Fabrante Pach**: A //Trichocereus pachanoi// phenotype.
   * **Fabrante Validus**: aka Vali Fab, or [[clones:p:poots_validus|Poots Validus]] A suspected //Trichocereus validus// phenotype or hybrid associated with the same collection.

Specific botanical details regarding rib count, spine length, and areole configuration are not documented in the initial collection records.

===== History & Origin =====
The Fabrante clones were introduced to the community by Steven Whitright, who sourced them from a private property in El Sobrante, California. The name is a portmanteau combining the first few letters of the property owner's surname (beginning with "Fa-") and the city of origin, El Sobrante.

===== Community Discussion & Citations =====
The discussion highlights the introduction of these clones to the community, clarifying that "Fabrante" is not a single clone but a designation for multiple plants collected from the same property. The mention of "vali fab" also prompted brief community discussion regarding the characteristics of //Trichocereus validus// clones in circulation, such as "Misplant's Validus" versus the "Field Shed" clone.
