*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus, known scientifically as Carnegiea gigantea, is more than just an iconic symbol of the American West. It is a vital part of the Sonoran Desert ecosystem, providing habitat and nourishment to a vast array of wildlife. Standing tall, saguaros can reach heights up to 40 feet and live for over 200 years. Each saguaro’s silhouette is unique, often adorned with arms that can number in the dozens, curving skyward and outwards in majestic displays. The saguaro blooms in late spring, bearing white flowers that crown its tips, later giving way to red, fleshy fruits that are cherished by local wildlife, including birds and bats.
