*** About Saguaro Cactus: The Saguaro cactus, scientifically known as Carnegiea gigantea, is an iconic symbol of the American Southwest, particularly Arizona. It is renowned for its imposing size and can reach heights of up to 40 feet. Saguaros have a long lifespan, often exceeding 150 years, and are characterized by their thick, ribbed stems which help them store water and by their large, arm-like branches that may develop as they age. Flourishing in the Sonoran Desert, these cacti blossom with white flowers in late spring and subsequently produce red fruit, which is edible and an important food source for local wildlife.
