[Arid_gardener] saguaro removal

[Olin Miller]

As I understand it, the requirements for obtaining a permit for the 
removal and transportation of protected native plants include has to do 
with removing and transplanting healthy plants.  If you have a diseased 
plant you should not need a permit to get rid of it.  But to be sure, 
you should contact the AZ Dept of Agriculture at

Arizona State Department of Agriculture
1688 West Adams Street, Phoenix, AZ 85007
(602) 542-4373

Most of the landscape maintenance crews that are always in the 
neighborhood leaving business cards at your door could do it for you.

I have a saguaro that has the bacterial necrosis
in several places.  It's 12-15" tall, no
arms.  Do I need a special permit to have it
removed/cut down?  It's in my back yard (less than ¼ ac).
Do you know where I can find someone to remove it for a reasonable fee?
I would appreciate any help you can give me.  Thanks.
