===== Description =====
"Gator" is a clone characterized by a phenotype highly reminiscent of a non-monstrose *Trichocereus pachanoi* (often abbreviated in the community as "TP(non)M"). It typically exhibits standard *T. pachanoi* features, including defined ribs, small areoles, and short spines. Despite its standard non-monstrose appearance, community members note that its hybrid offspring frequently exhibit "funky" or atypical growth patterns.

===== History & Origin =====
According to community reports, "Gator" was originally found in Sonoma, California. There is unresolved speculation within the community regarding whether the clone originated from the collection of Bob Baker. 

===== Cultivation Notes =====
No clone-specific cultivation requirements were detailed in the discussion. Standard *Trichocereus pachanoi* cultivation practices apply: utilize a highly gritty, well-draining soil mix, provide deep watering during the active growing season, and keep the plant dry during winter dormancy. It thrives in partial to full sun depending on regional intensity.
