crested saguaro

Tonto National Monument is home to a crested saguaro.  Biologists disagree as to why some saguaros grow in this unusual form.  Some speculate that it is a genetic mutation.  Others say it is the result of  lightning or freeze damage.  About one in 150,000 saguaros develop this unusual growth.
