Rare Saguaro Crown

This rare deformity occurs in about 1 in 50,000 plants.  There are a lot of Saguaro cactus around Tucson so they aren’t that hard to find.  I know where there are three.  Two can be spotted from the road and one on the Pima Canyon Trail.  Some people make it a hobby to find these rare cactus and geo-tag their where-abouts.
