Tucson Christmas Gifts Cactus?

Yesterday while out running errands, picking up some after Christmas specials and attending to a couple of our listings I saw these two trucks moving a couple of Sahuaro cactus.   I don’t know if they are a late Christmas present or a return.

Moving a cactus is a lot like petting a porcupine.   As you can see they don’t have very deep roots.  But they are rather easy to transplant and have them survive.

I got to thinking this is a sight a lot of people have probably never seen.   If you move to Tucson, maybe some day you will have a ring of the doorbell and your very own Sahuaro cactus may be coming to your new home.

What a wonderful house warming present!
