It can grow to be over 40 feet tall and live up to 200 years. Each saguaro's arm, which begins to sprout when the cactus reaches 65 to 100 years of age, adds a distinctive touch to its silhouette. Remarkably adapted to its harsh environment, the saguaro cactus has a unique internal structure that collects and stores water, enabling it to thrive in the extreme desert heat.
