*** About Saguaro Cactus: The Saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is an iconic symbol of the American Southwest, particularly native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona. This giant cactus can grow as tall as 40 to 60 feet and live up to 200 years. Characterized by its towering arms that can number over 25, the Saguaro blooms with white flowers in late spring and produces red fruit in summer. Saguaros serve as vital habitats for desert wildlife, offering nesting sites for birds such as the Gila woodpecker and the elf owl. Each Saguaro's arm only starts to grow after it reaches 75 years of age, making these cacti historical markers of the desert's ancient landscape.
