History
Trichocereus bridgesii ‘J18’
J18 is a pure Trichocereus bridgesii that was cloned by Rodni Chisar, a famous grower from Australia. Unfortunately, I am unable to find any decent snaps of the original J18 clone which is a shame because he was a gorgeous plant.

Trichocereus bridgesii ‘SP 07’
SP 07 is also a bridgesii that was released by Rodni Chisar from Trichocereus Australia. Unfortunately, I am unable to find any snaps of the mother plant.
Locality
Trichocereus bridgesii are native to Bolivia (duh) and Argentina.
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.
They quickly gained popularity over the years and have become statement pieces in many homes across the world.
