Watch the rise and fall of our giant Neoraimondia herzogiana (Bolivian saguaros)

The year was 2020 during Covid. We didn’t get our usual monsoon to moisturize the air and these guys burned up- the shorter ones arms all fell off one by one and we chopped it in half (it’s alive but doesn’t have the same shape) the one against the house survived a few years after but we eventually cut it down as it was growing towards the house and would eventually start putting pressure. :( I lovingly called it my beanstalk. Was sad to see it go but it made me nervous every time we had terrible wind gusts.
