*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus, scientifically known as Carnegiea gigantea, is a giant cactus native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, the Mexican State of Sonora, and Whipple Mountains and Imperial County areas of California. Growing up to 40 feet tall, it is easily recognizable by its towering, tree-like structure featuring arms that extend outward and upward. Lifespan of a saguaro can exceed 150 years, and they are a crucial part of the desert ecosystem, providing homes and food for native wildlife. Saguaros bloom with white, waxy flowers from late spring to early summer, and their fruits are enjoyed by the local bird species, including the Gila woodpecker and the cactus wren, the state bird of Arizona.
