Characterized by its towering, tree-like structure with ribbed, columnar branches that can number over a dozen, the saguaro cactus is not only a symbol of the American West but also a critical habitat for desert wildlife. Birds such as the Gila woodpecker and purple martins create nests in the hollows of saguaro arms, contributing to a complex ecosystem. Each saguaro's blooming season brings white, waxy flowers, the state flower of Arizona, adding to its iconic status and ecological importance.
