***About Saguaro Cactus

***: The saguaro cactus, recognizable by its towering, arm-laden structure, is a symbol of the American Southwest. Native to the Sonoran Desert, these cacti can grow to heights of 40 to 60 feet and live for up to 200 years. Each spring, saguaros blossom with large, white flowers, Arizona’s state wildflower, ensuring their role in the desert's ecosystem as hosts to a variety of wildlife, including birds and bats who pollinate them. As hardy survivors of the desert, saguaros store large amounts of water, their pleated exteriors expanding dramatically during rainfall, making them vital in their harsh, arid environments.
