*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea), iconic of the Sonoran Desert, is distinguished by its towering, tree-like form. It can grow to over 40 feet tall, and its arms, which start to develop from ages 50 to 100, reach up towards the sky. Each saguaro's silhouette is unique, often making it a symbol of individuality in arid landscapes. Adapting marvelously to its harsh surroundings, the saguaro's thick skin and expansive root system efficiently store and conserve water. These cacti not only serve as vital habitats for desert wildlife, including birds and insects, but also bloom with radiant white flowers, Arizona's state wildflower, during the spring.:
