*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is an iconic symbol of the American Southwest, particularly Arizona. Capable of reaching heights up to 40 feet, these massive plants are characterized by their thick, ribbed stems and arm-like branches. Saguaros bloom at night from late spring to early summer, producing large, white flowers that attract nocturnal pollinators like bats. Their fruits are an important food source for local wildlife, including birds and mammals. Saguaros can live for more than 150 years, slowly growing their first "arms" anywhere from 75 to 100 years into their lifespan. They are not only a vital part of the desert ecosystem but also hold deep cultural significance for the Native American tribes of the region.
