More weird Saguaro growth.

Post by Briguytm »

I went up A Mountain in Tucson to watch the sunset tonight. I Notice stands of Saguaros that looked deformed.

They all had this wierd grotesque look to them.

Any one have any ideas? There is a large number of these plants in one area. So maybe disease? Or maybe being close to a very popular road in Tucson it’s being chemically effected?

Well let me know if you guys have any thoughts.
