Trichocereus terscheckii or pachycereus pringlei?

This one grows in the south of France and quickly grew side arms early on.

Thanks, i always do check inaturalist, but this time i am not so sure which one it fits. At first it seems obvious it’s terscheckii but then some habitat pringlei pics look alike

Flowers, fruit, and spine arrangement are the clues that are 100% fool- proof ..unlike distant, habitat shots ( esp. w/ out flowers / fruit ).. You pictured specimen is obvious.
