Description
CRESTED SAGUARO CACTUS by PHOTOGRAPHER RICK FURMANEK
From the National Park Service: Cristate or “crested” saguaros form when the cells in the growing stem begin to divide outward, rather than in the circular pattern of a normal cactus. This is an unusual mutation which results in the growth of a large fan-shaped crest at the growing tip of a saguaro's main stem or arms.
Location: Arizona Ref. R3566
