*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is more than just an emblem of the American West; it's a towering sentinel of the desert. Native to the Sonoran Desert, which stretches across Arizona and into parts of Mexico and California, these cacti can grow up to 40 feet tall and live for more than 150 years. Saguaros are notable for their impressive arms, which generally begin to grow after 70 years of age. These arms make each saguaro's silhouette unique. They bloom with white flowers in late spring and produce fruit in summer, which are harvested by local wildlife and indigenous peoples.
