The death of a nurse plant generally precedes the plant species it protects. [15] There is evidence of competitive interactions between saguaro cacti and paloverde trees. The saguaros under a paloverde's canopy negatively impacted the vigor of the tree. [15] Trees in the absence of saguaros (Carnegiea gigantea) did not die as quickly.
