Capable of reaching heights up to 40 feet, these cacti are not only significant for their impressive stature but also for their ecological role. Serving as both habitat and nourishment for a variety of desert wildlife, saguaros can live for over 200 years. Their white, blooming flowers in late spring are Arizona’s state wildflower, and they bear fruit that feeds local birds, bats, and other wildlife in the scorching summer months.
