*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus, scientifically known as Carnegiea gigantea, is more than just an impressive plant of the desert; it is an iconic symbol of the American Southwest. Native primarily to the Sonoran Desert, these towering cacti can grow to over 40 feet tall and often live more than 150 years. They are distinguished by their upright, tree-like forms and massive arms that can number in the dozens. Saguaros bloom with white flowers in late spring and produce red, fleshy fruit in summer, which are consumed by local wildlife and indigenous peoples. The cactus plays a pivotal role in the desert ecosystem, providing habitats and resources for a host of desert dwellers.
