*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is an iconic symbol of the American Southwest. Native to the Sonoran Desert, these large cacti can reach heights of over 40 feet and live for more than 150 years. They are known for their distinctive upturned branches, which do not appear until the plant is 15 to 30 years old. Saguaros bloom with white flowers in late spring, typically around May and June, which later turn into red, edible fruit. This cactus species plays a critical role in the desert ecosystem, providing food and shelter for various wildlife including birds, bats, and insects.
