Removing Fallen and Leaning Saguaros: Legal and Safe Procedures

A 15–20' saguaro fell in high winds; two others need removal (one leaning into a tree). Saguaros are protected—permits required for removal/relocation. Professional removal needs crane, certified operator, flatbed, crew (16,000 lbs). Contact: AZ Dept. of Agriculture (602-542-4631), Desierto Verde (480-423-0202), Cactus Sales (480-963-1061), Cactus Doctor (602-465-0566). Ask about discounts for surrendering plants. Leaning saguaros are unpredictable—never DIY. Fatalities have occurred. Request relocation, not destruction—they're ecologically vital and legally protected.
