He was about 30+ ft tall. The smaller arms are about 6’ each. Now to decide what to do with the remains. I’m considering trying to save part to make a cactus skeleton sculpture with. But it’s big

Oh man, I‘m in AZ. Always a sad day when one of these big boys comes down. RIP saguaro friend.

I’ve seen advertisements for arborists who specialize in saguaro mishaps, including falls like this. Maybe worth a call if you can locate one in your area?

Sad. Try cuttings. It won’t hurt to try. I work at my city’s park department and this happened at one of our parks. Check for borers, wevils, bugs, etc. That is what made ours finally topple over.

Damn. At least in a few months you’ll have a nice big skeleton

That’s really unfortunate
🥺
With its brain leaking on the street even, ouch.
Is it legal now to chop up for replanting?
Sorry for the loss
This makes my heart sad 😞
How does this happen? I am from Florida and know nothing about desert plants
