Because of the weight of this saguaro cactus, the transport people had to change trucks. It turns out that they had it loaded on the first truck, but the saguaro was so heavy that it lifted the front two wheels of the truck off the ground. Obviously, the saguaro has to be positioned and braced onto the truck so that the arms wouldn't be damaged in transit.
