Can you mulch a saguaro?

Published in Daily Trivia
The saguaro is a protected plant under Arizona state law. So are the other varieties of native cactus and most of the desert trees. But on private property, it's perfectly legal to mow them down and grind them into mulch. The State Department of Agriculture tries to discourage the practice. Some cities impose tougher requirements. Developers say they salvage as many plants as they can. Critics, though, say the law should be stronger and developers should go farther in preserving the saguaro.
