You can see they are over watering it. It's hasn't been a hot summer this year.

Why would you use black decomposed granite inn you yard with a saguaro It will increase the heat But, it was looking old in the shared pre fall images

The plant had weak spots. Watering it caused the areas above those weak spots to absorb a lot of water and become very heavy, eventually splitting it apart. Not sure what could have been done other than closely monitoring the diameter of its limbs to make sure they were not swelling from too much water.

In other news: a cactus fall over! Over you...

You can see the hose

I miss Arizona even with the heat in all Such a beautiful state

Not a new thing.

Shouldn't have watered it. You can do more damage by giving it too much water. The ones out in the open and in our yard are doing okay. They are skinny, but surviving.

Smashing records? Can you just read the teleprompter without the idiotic editorializing?

Did it fall because of the heat or the saguaro was just old?

Needs deep watering. Too much heat from gravel yards…plant a bush by the saguaro. Also they might be old and just dying

Maybe you shouldn't have a hose watering it. I know forget about those pesky facts, and keep the clamato agenda going, and "Trust the Science".

Water them
