***About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus, native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, is an emblematic figure of the American Southwest. These giants can live up to 200 years and grow as tall as 60 feet. The saguaro blooms with white flowers in late spring and produces red fruit in summer, which are edible and have been traditionally harvested by the Native American Tohono O’odham people. This cactus serves as a vital habitat for desert wildlife, offering nests for birds like the Gila woodpecker and the elf owl, exemplifying a keystone species in its arid landscape.
