*** About Saguaro Cactus: The Saguaro Cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is not merely an iconic symbol of the Arizona desert but also a vital part of the ecosystem. Standing up to 40 feet tall, these giants can live for more than 150 years. They serve as both habitat and food source for many desert dwellers. Saguaro blooms, which appear typically in late spring, provide nectar for bats, birds, and bees, while their flesh and seeds offer nutrition to creatures like the desert woodrat and various insects. When a saguaro dies, its woody ribs can be used to build roofs, fences, and furniture, showcasing its value well beyond its life.
