It thrives in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, living up to 200 years. These giants can grow to over 40 feet tall, and their blossoms are the state wildflower of Arizona. Saguaros serve as crucial habitats, offering food, shelter, and nesting sites for an array of desert wildlife, including birds such as the Gila woodpecker and creatures like the desert bat.
