I know not to destroy the damned things, but what about when the fruit ripens? I've wanted to try it but can't find anything about it. I know I have to obtain a permit to pick prickly pear fruits, is there a similar thing for saguaro, or do any of ya'll happen to have one growing in your backyard?

You are not allowed to harvest on public land. you can pick and sample, but can not take any quanity off the property. The local Indian population still harvests on their land.

Prickly pear is pretty good, can't wait to try it off the paddle instead of off the shelf at Fry's. But everyone I have talked to says saguaro is much better.Editor-at-Large at...well, here, of course!

Prickly pear ain't bad at all, but saguaro is worth the wait.Act your age, not your shoe size. - PrinceComment

I think we made sahuaro jelly once, that was a long time ago....30-40 years....we had a couple on our property.
You could google the laws? Might be federal law, though.My fabulous web page

My parents have a bunch on their land around their house, so you'd be more than welcome to come get some, they're up in CareFree.....Or you can get a permit which shouldn't cost more than $25 to go collect them on government land.......Comment
