Saguaros can grow to be over 40 feet tall and live up to 200 years. They are known for their iconic arm-like branches, which may start to grow after the cactus reaches 75 years of age. The saguaro blooms in the late spring, producing white flowers that adorn the tips of its branches, and later, red fruit that is a vital source of nourishment for local wildlife. The majestic saguaro is not only an ecological centerpiece but also a cultural symbol of the American Southwest.:
