***About Saguaro Cacti: Saguaros (Carnegiea gigantea) are iconic symbols of the American Southwest, specifically native to the Sonoran Desert. These towering cacti can reach heights of over 40 feet and live for more than 150 years. Each arm of a saguaro can take up to 75 years to develop, serving as a reservoir for water that sustains the plant through intense droughts. Saguaros bloom with white flowers in late spring, producing red fruit that is eaten by local wildlife. This giant cactus plays a crucial role in the desert ecosystem, providing shelter and sustenance to a variety of desert inhabitants.
