SLO is a Trichocereus bridgesii that was clones a few years back and distributed by a now, unknown Cal grower. The mother stand is located in San Luis Obispo, California, United States. The spine formation on this clone is wild as you would expect from Tr. bridgesii.

History
Tr. bridgesii was first introduced to the Western world by a German botanist Friedrich Ritter who studied various cactus species in South America. He then named the species after his close friend, the British consul in Bolivia, Alan Bridges.
