165 year old saguaro cactus @ Carefree Resort Scottsdale Arizona

saguaros are much cooler than those other cactuses, with the flat stems. I hate those, thats the only cactus that grows naturally over here in west texas

There's something about the Saguaro that I love.

4 years ago me and my friends took a 15 feet cactus from the dessert (very similar to the one in this vieo) using a sh+t load heavy equipment and planted it in my back yard (along with my very impresive cacti collectoin), which started a riot in the town, people demanding I returned it back to it's rightful place I walk out and tell the protestors that if they wanted it back they could return it themselves,& boy did they try. till this day it's still stands proudly in my back yard - true story.

@Greeny1hit1the1sign come on dude, don't steal cactuses from the wild. what you do is take a smaller growth from it (a "pup") and then plant that. it's okay, to me, to snag a little one from an inopportune place (I have an aloe vera I found growing near a larger one, but under the edge of a rock and a tree, where it was not receiving much water or light. It now thrives in my window. I wouldn't have taken the mother plant, though- or else no more can grow. Where do you think they COME FROM

That look's like Tucson Arizona. I live in Tucson!

The saguaro on the left is really healthy! It would have been hilarious if the arm you poked suddenly just fell off. XD

[wsoxman]

So where is this cactus located? Add to your title

[squito94]

I agree. They are true symbols of the desert. I would love to see it in bloom and watch the long-nosed bat use the blossums.

I just adore living in the Desert Southwest! Saguaros are my favorites! Thanks so much for this video! ;-))

@Stephanieml331 I once went to Arizona but we never saw one, and I really wanted to see a Saguaro...
