Native to the Sonoran Desert, it can grow over 40 feet tall and live for more than 150 years. These towering cacti are not only a vital part of the desert ecosystem, providing habitat and food for wildlife, but they are also deeply intertwined with the cultural heritage of the region's Indigenous peoples. The saguaro's blossoms are the state wildflower of Arizona, and its arms start to grow after 15 to 30 years of life, marking a significant milestone in its lifecycle.
