Known for its towering height, which can exceed 40 feet, and its distinctive arm-like branches, it serves as a vital habitat and resource for many desert species. Saguaros can live for over 150 years and their blossoms are the state flower of Arizona. These cacti play a crucial role in the desert ecosystem, providing food and shelter for wildlife, and continuing to be a subject of fascination and reverence in southwestern culture.
