The saguaro cactus is one of the most famous plants in Arizona, located in the middle of the Sonoran Desert. These huge desert plants may live beyond 150 years, reaching a height of 40 feet and with a weight of several tons in full maturity.
But, as any living object, they are subject to age and weather and pests, and disease. The discovery of a fallen saguaro cactus on your property is not only about landscape issues, but also a safety, legal, and environmental issue.
AZ Cactus Experts specializes in dealing with safe handling, removal, and care of fallen saguaro cactuses across Arizona.
Our team offers professional services to save your property and ensure that all the laws of Arizona concerning the protection of the plant are followed.
Why Do Saguaros Fall?
A fallen saguaro cactus is a shocking sight, given that they are so big and tall. Various reasons can lead to the toppling or collapsing of saguaros:
- Monsoons and heavy winds will overturn or break huge saguaros.
- Their root systems are shallow, and thus they are exposed when the soil is loose or oversaturated.
- Bacterial infections tend to undermine the internal structure, resulting in collapse.
Old Age: With the increasing age of saguaros, their strength in supporting their bulky arms and trunk decreases.
A collapsed saguaro can pose a risk, cause property loss, or block out a pathway. They are too large, and their prickly outer shell means that they should not be touched without a professional helping hand in Arizona.
