Recognizable by their towering arms, these cacti are more than just iconic; they are vital to the desert ecosystem. They provide habitats for various wildlife, including birds such as the Gila woodpecker and the elf owl, which nest in the holes carved out by these birds. The saguaro blooms in late spring with white flowers that open at night and close by mid-afternoon, pollinated primarily by bats. In summer, they bear red fruit, which is an important food source for the local wildlife.
