Our Saguaro Broke In Half And Within A Month Started Turning Black

Question

And now the whole side of if sluffed off and showed the “skeleton” to be covered in black goo. It seems to have also spread to our other cactus which have simply imploded on themselves. We knew it was struggling and figured it was the heat as there were no open, running sores. Now what do we do?

Arizona has been plagued with dying Saguaro cacti since the extreme heat set in. Give your closest Extension agent a call and ask how they have been dealing with this travesty. Here is how to contact them:
