Native to the Sonoran Desert, these large cacti can reach heights of over 40 feet and live for up to 200 years. Saguaros grow slowly, taking up to 75 years to develop a side arm, which are indicators of their maturity and reproductive readiness. These cacti are not only a vital part of the desert ecosystem, providing habitats and food for native wildlife, but are also deeply ingrained in the cultural fabric of the region. The saguaro’s distinct silhouette against the desert sunset has become a visual emblem of Arizona’s natural splendor. ***
