It is known for its massive size, often reaching heights of up to 40 feet. Saguaros grow very slowly but can live for 200 years or more. They are distinguished by their upright, branching arms and are vital to the desert ecosystem, providing habitats for various wildlife, including birds such as the Gila woodpecker and owls. The cactus blooms in late spring, producing white flowers—the state wildflower of Arizona.
