While specific morphological details such as precise rib count, spine length, and areole measurements are not fully detailed in the source discussion, the clone is recognized for its highly glaucous, blue epidermis. It is noted to share a very close physical resemblance to the prominent clone 'Sharxx Blue'. ===== History & Origin ===== Len is a //Trichocereus peruvianus// clone originating from Australia. It is frequently associated and compared with 'David', another Australian //peruvianus// clone of similar appearance. The original breeder, collector, or importer who introduced Len to the community is not identified in the provided records. ===== Cultivation Notes ===== No specific cultivation instructions for Len were provided in the discussion. As a glaucous //T. peruvianus//, standard cultivation practices for the genus apply: * Use a highly porous, well-draining soil mix (typically 50-70% inorganic grit such as pumice or perlite). * Implement a "soak and dry" watering regimen, watering only when the root zone has completely dried out. * To maintain the intense blue glaucous coating (waxy bloom) on the epidermis, protect the plant from overhead watering and harsh, direct midday sun, which can weather the wax. Dappled light or light shade cloth is recommended. ===== Community Discussion & Citations ===== //Analysis of the discussion reveals that Len is recognized within the community as part of a group of highly desirable blue Australian imports, though it is less frequently discussed than clones like Althea or NFA.// ^ Date ^ Speaker ^ Confidence Score ^ Key Insight/Quote ^ | 2025 (approx) | David Gonzalez | 7 | "Len and David are Peruvianus from Australia, very similar in looks to Sharxx Blue." | | 2025 (approx) | Lawrence Smith | 10 | "and both Althea and NFA are from Icaros DNA seed" | ===== Credibility Notes ===== Lawrence Smith is assigned a confidence score of 10/10 based on the expert override criteria. David Gonzalez is rated 7/10 due to his detailed, consistent contributions regarding multiple clones, his clear explanation of botanical accession numbers, and the general consensus and lack of disagreement from other participants in the discussion.
