T. Pachanoi c.v. Dangar

Trichocereus pachanoi c.v. 'Dangar' is a distinctive cultivar characterized by its robust, columnar growth habit. The epidermis presents a glaucous green hue, often appearing somewhat waxy. It typically features 5-6 prominent, relatively straight ribs, which can show slight undulations. The areoles are circular, small, and white, spaced evenly along the rib crests. A key identifying feature of 'Dangar' is its spineless nature, with mature areoles completely lacking spines. The apex often displays a light brown to tan woolly growth.

The cultivar 'Dangar' was discovered and propagated by Daniel Lawrence Garber, known by his eBay handle “dangar.” According to community accounts, Garber found this unique *Trichocereus pachanoi* in his local neighborhood near Solana Beach, California. The plant was reportedly slated for removal by a landowner undertaking yard renovations. Garber rescued the specimen and subsequently named the clone 'Dangar' after his online alias.
