*** About Saguaros: Saguaros, the giant cacti seen here, are native to the Sonoran Desert of Arizona. They are monumental in both size and lifespan, reaching heights of up to 40 feet and living for more than 150 years. These cacti are particularly noted for their striking limb-like growths, which actually develop as they age and increase their photosynthetic capacity. The saguaro blooms with white flowers in late spring and produces red fruit in summer, which are eaten by local wildlife. Esteemed not only for their majestic appearance, saguaros hold a significant cultural importance and are often seen as symbols of the American Southwest.
