Sentinels

Saguaro cacti awaiting their new location. My understanding is that you are not allowed to destroy wild Saguaro growing on your property, but you are allowed to move them to a better location. When you move them you must retain their original orientation for them to survive.
That's so interesting. It must be quite an operation to move those huge specimens carefully.

@sherimiya yes it is a very challenging operation. These cacti are very heavy and their needles are weapons!

How terrifying. They look amazing structures but I'm allergic to the needles so I would keep my distance.

Amazing, capture and info, do they survive a move?

@craftymeg They are extremely resilient and usually they survive the move even if they are big specimens!
