This clone is identified as a *Trichocereus peruvianus* (syn. *Echinopsis peruviana*). Detailed botanical descriptions, including specific rib counts, areole spacing, spine length/color, and epidermis color, are not explicitly detailed in the community discussion. However, it is recognized as a visually appealing specimen within the community.
There is historical naming confusion surrounding the name “Shamans Garden,” which actually refers to two distinct lines: 1. A clone grown from seed collected directly from a shaman's garden in Peru. 2. An Australian clone that was initially distributed under the name *T. peruvianus* 'Shamans Garden'.
To resolve this naming conflict, the proprietor of Trichocereus Australia (trichocereus.com.au) renamed the Australian clone to _T. peruvianus_ 'TA01' (Trichocereus Australia 01). There is also speculative community mention of a *Trichocereus bridgesii* associated with a shaman's garden, but this remains unverified.
No specific cultivation notes were provided in the discussion. For *Trichocereus peruvianus* clones, standard cultivation practices apply: grow in a highly gritty, well-draining soil mix (e.g., 50% pumice or perlite). Water deeply only when the soil is completely dry, and suspend watering during winter dormancy. Provide bright, filtered light or full sun depending on local intensity, acclimating slowly to prevent sunburn.
