The first time I visited the Saguaro National Park in Tucson, Arizona, I had dozens of questions about saguaros. I wanted to know why their arms grow down toward the ground sometimes and why some of them have a brown woody bark and why some of them have ripples and what happens to you if you get caught shooting at a saguaro. This book answered all of my questions and then some!I found out that the arms sometimes start to grow downwards if there is a cold spell right as the arms start to grow. Only very old saguaros get the woody bark and they become more like a regular tree as they age. The ripples are caused by droughts and rainy years during growth cycles and you'll be fined very heavily if you shoot at a saguaro because they are protected under state law.It's a thin, paperback book and it's written in a manner that it would be interesting to children as well as to adults but it's definitely aimed at an older reader. Tons of beautiful desert scenes!
This book, published by Arizona Highways, presents a broad yet detailed overview of saguaro cacti. Everything about the cacti, ranging from scientific data to traditional and modern cultural information, has been placed in this book. The text is easy to read yet it answers most questions about cacti, and the pictures are of the high quality expected from Arizona Highways. This book is so good that its photos and information has been incorporated into reference booklets at Saguaro National Park. A good book for both Arizona residents and visitors to own.
Being from Kansas and buying an older home with beautiful mature cactus in the backyard and wanting to move them to the front we enlisted a professional. He suggested some books for us to read and this was in his list as we have a large saguaro among our specimens. The small book contained a lot of really useful and informative information. Thanks Frenchie.
This book, apparently commissioned by and/or published by Arizona Highways, provides a lot of introductory information about the giants of the desert: saguaros. The photos are beautiful and the information enticing. Definitely worth reading if you're looking for basic information on Arizona saguaros.
This basic book has wonderful information about the Saguaro Cactus that is easy for ANYONE to read. It is not highly scientific....yet delivers lots of information that is readily digestable. The pictures are SUPERB! In fact, it is mostly pictures. I have shared this book with many of our fellow RVers in Arizona and all have enjoyed it.
Absolutely love this book. Tells you everything you need to know about the history of saguaros. The pictures are great too.
Great book! Love it. Quick shipper.
