I have found several giant grandaddy saguaro's that live in Yavapi County, North of Lake Pleasant. "Condor" was the champ but it now is in laying on the ground. "Big Bubba" is now one of the co-champs as well as "Ancient One".

Now there are several co-champion saguaro's. Two in Yavapai County, four in Maricopa County, two in Pima County and two in Pinal County. All the co-champions are listed in both the The National Register of Big Trees and The Arizona Register of Big Trees.

My grandson & I have found two more champion saguaro's in Tonto National Forest near Horeshoe Lake, in Maricopa County. See "Grand One" & "Candralobra". Go to the statistics page to see a list of all of the champions.

Did you know that these grandaddy saguaro's have bark on them? I thought they were scars from forest fires, frost, insects, disease or something. Some patches of bark look similar to the bark on an old Pondarosa Pine tree. The bark area sheds the needles that saguaro's normally have. Go to the statistics page and select one of the underlined names under the "Location" column to view photo's of several of these super grandaddy champion saguaro's.
