Planting a Saguaro Cactus: Step 10

Now you can step back and admire your new saguaro cactus! You'll notice that no watering system has been installed for this tree of the desert--it doesn't need it. We have a name for our saguaro, just like it is one of the family. Although we know it is four feet into the ground and very stable, we are always relieved after a monsoon storm to find it standing proudly in front of our desert home.
