What would you see in Arizona?

Is the saguaro cactus nectar poisonous?
Most cacti are not toxic to cats. If your cactus is prickly, one touch and your cat isn't going to mess with it again. If you have a non-spiny cactus, it still isn't going to taste good so your cat would only nibble a little, and then at worst have a sick tummy. If you know the species of cactus concerned, look it up specifically. In general, though, it's probably fine. I've kept cats and cacti/succulents in the same living space for years and never had either one of them hurt the other.

What happen when the cactus didn't have thorns?
If a cactus didn't have thorns, it would lose its primary defense mechanism against herbivores. Without thorns, the cactus would be more vulnerable to being eaten by animals, which could lead to decreased survival and reproduction rates. Additionally, without thorns, the cactus might face increased competition from other plants, as it would lack the protective adaptations that help it thrive in harsh environments. Ultimately, this change could disrupt the local ecosystem and the balance of species that depend on the cactus for food and shelter.

How is the age of the saguaro cactus calculated?
The age of a saguaro cactus can be estimated by counting its growth rings, similar to how you would determine the age of a tree. Each ring represents a year of growth. Counting the rings at the base of the cactus can give an approximation of its age, with each arm adding around 75-100 years to the total age.

Why do elf owls need the saguaro cactus to survive?
Elf owls rely on the saguaro cactus for nesting and roosting sites, as the cactus provides natural cavities that protect them from predators and harsh weather. The saguaro also supports their diet by attracting insects and small animals they hunt. Additionally, the cactus plays a crucial role in the ecosystem, providing shelter and food for various species, which in turn sustains the elf owl's habitat. Without the saguaro cactus, elf owls would struggle to find suitable nesting sites and food sources.
Where can you buy saguaro cactus pieces?
In the United States the saguaro grows naturally in Arizona. However, it is illegal to remove a saguaro from the desert without permission and only for a legitimate reason (eg: The cactus is falling into a roadway or home or needs to be removed for construction.) It is also illegal to remove even the dead wood from a saguaro cactus from the desert, The only alternative would be to purchase a saguaro from a nursery, let it die and decay for a few years and then remove the dead wood pieces. Considering the high cost of a live saguaro from a licensed nursery, this does not seem to be a viable option.

Why is it illegal to remove a saguaro cactus?
The saguaro only grows in the deserts of Arizona. If they were not protected, commercial cactus nurseries would quickly remove the plants to sell for landscaping across the warmer regions of the southwest. Texas has no such rules and areas that were once covered by a variety of cactus species and other desert vegetation are now devoid of these interesting plants.
