Towering as high as 40 feet, these cacti can live for over 200 years. The saguaro blooms in late spring with white, waxy flowers, later producing red fruit that nourishes local wildlife. Its massive structure provides shelter and supports a vibrant community of creatures from birds to reptiles, playing a critical role in sustaining the biological richness of its habitat.
