*** About the Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus, native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, is a monumental plant that can grow up to 40 feet tall. Characterized by its towering, tree-like form, the saguaro is distinguished by its thick ribbed stem that stores water and can weigh up to 8 tons, including its arm-like branches. This iconic cactus blooms with white flowers in late spring and produces red fruit in summer, which has been harvested by the native Tohono O'odham people for centuries. As a vital component of its ecosystem, the saguaro provides habitat and nourishment to a wide range of wildlife.
