The North American desert is somewhat alien compared to other deserts on earth, you can just feel something there, it’s a living, breathing desert. It’s so cool how literal owls and woodpeckers reside in cacti to creat a sort of natural defense against predators, and you managed to showcase that perfectly. Great video
Well the several deserts in North America are just so different, like the Sonoran has all the cacti, then the Mojave has the Joshua trees, Great basin desert is father north, it is really cool if you have the chance to ever spend some time in each of them
Friend, how are you doing on this beautiful day? What an excellent video you presented to us. Beautiful cactus and many interesting facts. I enjoyed it a lot. I send you many greetings and I wish you to continue very, very well. Big hug.
I had never thought about it before, but the holes of the Gila Woodpecker must be really bad for the cactus' water retention. Of course cactuses would have a great mechanism to seal off holes. They have to, or a woodpecker hole could be fatal! This was an interesting look into a new branch of biology. Looking forward to whatever information you share next!
I don’t always give plants enough appreciation, but I have always loved saguaros! They are just crazy looking plants. The natural selection remark made me spit out my water, thanks for that. Great work! - Harrison
I rescued an arm of a Saguaro a neighbor was cutting down in my neighborhood. Should I cover it with a wet towel to allow it a “boost” of hydration while it tries to flourish in my yard? It’s 106 today at my home and another video said they need protection’ but to NOT water the base. Your thoughts?
Do not water the base until 2 weeks after planting. It needs time to grow roots to absorb water. It could rot if it’s wet with no root system. Let the wound callous over. Give it a week. Then plant in the ground. You might need a shade cloth if you kept saguaro in a shaded spot while it’s wound was healing. If not, No shade cloth needed. Water it 2 weeks after planting it in the ground.

Thank you for talking about CAM.
“This is what is called natural selection”
I know! Got me laughing so hard. Instant karma
Have you heard the song? Saguaro by the Austin Lounge Lizards
Another great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Trying to make some plant content for the channel
I guess David Grundman got himself a Darwin Award
He did indeed
Is he the guy that shot one?

Yeah having some fun with plants. The scar tissue is really interesting and forms a sort of jug the birds nest in.
Natural Selection, now that's funny.

They are amazing plants, part of a really amazing ecosystem. you been out to them yet?
-JJ
Excellent video - I love the Sonoran ecosystem!
It really is a cool ecosystem.
I love Cacti. Obviously ❤
When even cacti are dying of heat and dryness, you know you got a problem.
Saguaro catcus are often depicted in Texas related graphics despite the fact the plant does not occur in Texas.
And there is a whole fun song about it
@@Ecotasia What song?
@@lutherheggs Ain't No Saguaro in Texas
Song by The Reverend Horton Heat
Love your vids!
Thank you so much
Thank you🎉
You’re welcome 😊
Guy decides to shoot this large cactus down with a gun, the cactus has the last laugh though. Revenge, says the 🌵 you are mine, ha ha ha.

not sure, shade is good until they get larger

areole and areoles. Not areola. An areola is a nipple
thank you for the correction
