Capable of reaching heights over 40 feet, saguaros grow their first side arm around the age of 75-100 years. These cacti are not only significant for their impressive longevity, living up to 200 years, but also for their role in the desert ecosystem, providing habitat and nourishment to a diverse range of wildlife. Known for their majestic silhouettes against the desert sunrise or sunset, saguaros bloom with white flowers in late spring and early summer, followed by red fruit that feeds local birds and animals.
