These cacti can grow to be over 40 feet tall and are known for their distinctive arm-like branches, which may take up to 75 years to develop. Saguaros have a long lifespan, often exceeding 150 years, and they play a crucial role in the desert ecosystem, providing habitats and food for a diverse range of wildlife. They bloom with white flowers in late spring and early summer, followed by red, fleshy fruit that is a favorite of local birds and mammals.
