*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is more than just an emblem of the American Southwest; it is a vital component of the desert ecosystem. Thriving in the Sonoran Desert, these giants can reach heights of up to 40 feet and live for over 150 years. Saguaros bloom with white flowers in the late spring and produce fruit in the summer, which are consumed by local wildlife, aiding in seed dispersal. Their thick, waxy skin and extensive root systems allow them to store massive amounts of water, which help them survive the harsh, dry climate.
