*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus, native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, is more than just an iconic desert symbol; it plays a crucial role in the ecosystem. Capable of reaching heights up to 40 feet, these giants can live for more than 150 years. They bloom with white flowers in late spring and bear fruit in summer, providing sustenance for local wildlife. Their thick skins and ribbed structure allow them to store vast amounts of water, vital for survival in the harsh desert environment. Saguaros also serve as habitats, offering homes to various desert birds, including the state bird of Arizona, the cactus wren.
