*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) stands as a monumental figure in the deserts of the American Southwest. Exclusive to the Sonoran Desert, these giant cacti can grow over 40 feet tall and live up to 200 years. Their slow growth rate and impressive water-storage capacity allow them to thrive in the harsh desert environment. Each saguaro's distinctive arm pattern is unique, often not beginning to grow arms until they are at least 70 years old. Saguaros serve as vital habitats for desert wildlife, providing nesting sites for birds and sustenance for a variety of desert inhabitants.
