Is it a natural cristate?

[RCDS66]

These Pachycereus pringlei seedlings sprouted in first / second week of Sep 25. Now, as the seedling are 0.5 to 1 inch tall, I think that one of the seedlings has started developing into a cristate right from the start.

Am I right in my understanding or it is just a normal seedling with a broader base?

Kinda looks like it. I doubt it will survive for too long. Interesting.

Let's see how long it survives. It will be good to have one

The cristate is surviving so far and is growing well. Actually another seedling has started forming a cristate so there are two now. Fascinating.
