Fred the Cactus is gone

We were sad that our very large Saguaro cactus got a disease and was dying.  He was so tall and if he fell it would be very dangerous so we had him taken down.  We named him Fred when we first moved here and the name stuck.

We researched what we could do to try to save him, and tried using the bleach and water solution that was recommended.  It worked for a while, but then it just got worse and worse.  Those gray spots kept getting bigger and bigger.  After it was removed, the guy who took it down said that it was rotting inside.

If you look at the end of the video, you'll see our neighbors were outside watching the process.




Bye, Fred!  We miss you already!
