*** About Saguaro Cactus: The Saguaro cactus, native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, stands as a prominent symbol of the American Southwest. Characterized by its towering, tree-like form, the saguaro can grow up to 40 feet tall and live for more than 150 years. Its arms, which start to develop anywhere from 75 to 100 years of age, curve upward and can number in the dozens, giving the cactus its distinctive appearance. The saguaro blooms with white flowers in late spring and produces red fruit in summer, which are eaten by local wildlife and indigenous peoples. Aside from its ecological role, the saguaro is deeply ingrained in the cultural heritage of native tribes, symbolizing resilience and providing various material uses.
