*** About Saguaro Cactus: The Saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is a monumental plant that can grow to towering heights of over 40 feet and live for more than 150 years. Predominantly found in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, the saguaro is not only a vital part of the desert ecosystem but also a symbol of the American Southwest. Its towering presence and lifelike "arms," which can number over a dozen in mature plants, are iconic in the landscape where they provide shelter and food to numerous desert dwellers. The saguaro blooms with white, waxy flowers in late spring and produces red, fleshy fruits that are edible and have been traditionally harvested by the Native American Tohono O'odham people for centuries.:
