Fabrante

“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 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.

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.
