It is known for its massive size, reaching heights up to 40 feet and living for 150 years or more. The saguaro grows slowly, taking up to 75 years to develop a side arm, which are its branches that generally angle upwards. These cacti are not just spectacular plant forms but host to a variety of desert wildlife, providing shelter and food for birds, insects, and bats. Their blossoms are the state wildflower of Arizona. ***:
