" Big Tree lovers in Oro Valley, Arizona, are carefully monitoring their national co-champion
saguaro after the 150-year-old cactus was moved in May to allow for a highway expansion.
The cactus, which was on the edge of a busy intersection, was shifted to a safer location
150 feet away."
Don't know if this picture above is before or after the move.
