Native to the Sonoran Desert, these massive plants can live up to 200 years and grow as tall as 60 feet. Saguaros bloom with white flowers in late spring and produce red, fleshy fruits in summer. Each cactus develops its own unique pattern of arms over time, which start appearing typically after 75 years. The saguaro has been an invaluable resource to indigenous peoples, providing both sustenance and material. Its imposing silhouette against sunsets makes it an enduring subject for photography and art, symbolizing survival and resilience. ***
