So now I'm searching to see if i can propagate some cuttings, there's no good articles that give a definite answer. I woul...

Re: Identifying help
Thanks DaveW, the flowers are smooth and after more searching it looks like it's a {Cereus jamacaru}. The description is the same especially the thick woody trunk, long needles and smooth white flowers with very light pink tips.
