*** About Saguaro Cactus: The Saguaro Cactus, a symbol of the Arizona desert, can grow up to 40 feet tall and live for over 150 years. Adapted to thrive in the Sonoran Desert, these cacti store vast amounts of water, their pleated exterior expanding during rain and contracting in drought. The majestic saguaros serve not only as iconic landmarks but also as habitats for desert wildlife, including birds such as the Gila woodpecker and the Elf owl, which make their homes within the cactus itself. The saguaro blooms with white flowers in late spring and produces red fruit in summer, which is consumed by local wildlife and indigenous peoples alike.
