Saguaro with a crown gall again...

Post by TimN »

I stopped by this Saguaro with a crown gall today to snap some pictures. It's definitely getting larger and more interesting looking...

Awesome! Looks like it's got some totem pole action happening.

It looks like someone throw something on it and it stays there.

I found one like that near New River. I thought from a far it was crested but it was more like that. I will dig and see if I have pictures of it.
