*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus, scientifically known as Carnegiea gigantea, is an iconic symbol of the American Southwest, primarily found in the Sonoran Desert. This monumental plant can live up to 200 years and typically starts to develop its characteristic arms around 70 years of age. Capable of reaching heights over 40 feet, saguaros are not only a keystone species but also serve as vital habitats for desert wildlife, providing shelter and food. During the late spring, these cacti bloom with large, white flowers, followed by fruit that sustains many local species, including birds and bats, reinforcing the biodiversity of their native desert.
