When to Plant a Calloused Saguaro Crown Cutting

A 2-foot Baja saguaro crown cutting has been callousing 2 weeks and "greening over." Wait until fully calloused (corky skin)—3–4 weeks total. Root in a pot (not ground) for shade control and mobility. Keep 6 months to a year before transplanting to final location. Provide sun protection initially after transplant.
