*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus, scientifically named Carnegiea gigantea, is much more than an iconic symbol of the American Southwest. Native to the Sonoran Desert, these towering cacti can reach impressive heights of up to 40 feet and often live for 150 to 200 years. Saguaros have a slow growth rate and may take up to 75 years to develop a side arm, a feature that adds to their distinctive silhouette. These cacti are vital to the desert ecosystem, providing habitat, food, and water reserves for a variety of wildlife, including birds, bats, and insects.
