Characterized by its towering, tree-like form, the saguaro can grow to be over 40 feet tall. Saguaros have a relatively long lifespan, often exceeding 150 years. They are renowned for their spectacular white blossoms, which are the state wildflower of Arizona. The saguaro's ability to store vast amounts of water, its slow growth, and its blossoming tops make it a crucial species in its arid homeland, supporting a diverse ecosystem.
