***About Saguaro Cactus:

*** The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is more than just an iconic symbol of the American Southwest’s deserts; it's an integral part of the ecological system. Towering as high as 40 to 60 feet, these giants can live over 200 years, growing their first "arm" around 70 years old in some cases. Saguaros blossom with white flowers in late spring to early summer and later produce red fruits that are cherished by local wildlife. Their thick skins and pleated surfaces help them conserve water, thriving in the harsh desert climes of Arizona, California, and Sonora, Mexico. These cacti do not only add monumental beauty to the landscape but also play a crucial role in supporting local biodiversity.
