*** About The Saguaro Cactus: Saguaro cacti, native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, are iconic symbols of the American Southwest. Towering up to 60 feet tall, these majestic plants can live for over 150 years. Saguaros grow slowly, sometimes sprouting arms as they age. These arms generally begin to appear when the cactus reaches 70 to 100 years of age. Each May and June, saguaros blossom with white flowers that open at night and close the following midday, pollinated primarily by bats. The fruit that follows in June, red and bursting with seeds, provides food to local wildlife, playing a crucial role in the desert ecosystem.
