A permit can't be issued, because it's illegal to collect, damage, or remove cactus plants from the Sonoran Desert National Monument in Arizona. It's illegal regardless of whether the plant is alive or dead. In fact, the law protects all of the cultural and Natural Resources within the Desert. That includes even rocks and dead things.

MaxineSaguaros occur naturally in Arizona and no live or dead plant can be legally removed from public lands. The only alternative is to purchase one from one of many nursuries in the state that specialize in cacti and other desert plants. You will be given a receipt showing that you acquired the plant legally.
yes you can own this cactus if it is on the property you buy..however ..you will pay more for it in arazonia (property that is) is one is on your site. however again..you can not move it. damage it. or molest it in anyway (i am sure molesting a cactus is not a good thing to begin with).
