*** About Saguaro Cactus: The Saguaro Cactus, native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, can grow to over 40 feet tall and live for more than 150 years. These cacti are characterized by their thick, ribbed stems and arm-like branches, which generally begin to grow after the first 75 years of the saguaro’s life. They produce white flowers in late spring and red fruit in summer, which are both an important source of food and water for local wildlife. Saguaros are not only vital to the desert ecosystem for providing habitats but are also cultural symbols of the American Southwest.
