*** About The Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus, scientifically known as Carnegiea gigantea, is synonymous with the American Southwest. Towering over the desert landscape, these cacti can reach heights of up to 40 feet and live for more than 150 years. They are not only a vital part of the ecosystem, providing habitat and nourishment to a variety of desert wildlife, but also an iconic symbol of the Arizona desert. The saguaro's distinctive arms, which can number in the dozens, begin to grow after the first 75 years of its life, giving each cactus its unique character.
