*** About Saguaro Cactus: Native to the Sonoran Desert, the saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is not only an iconic symbol of the American Southwest but also one of the most distinctive and enduring cacti in the world. These giants can grow to be over 40 feet tall and live up to 200 years. Adapted to thrive in the desert climate, saguaros store large amounts of water, their pleated exteriors expanding like accordions, which enable them to survive the long droughts. The saguaro blooms in late spring, producing white, night-blooming flowers that later turn into red, edible fruit.
