These magnificent plants can reach up to 40 feet in height and live for over 150 years. Saguaros have a slow growth rate, often sprouting their first arm if any, between 75 to 100 years of age. They are not only vital to the desert ecosystem as homes and food sources for birds, such as the Gila woodpecker and purple martin, but also carry significant cultural importance for several native tribes, symbolizing patience, longevity, and endurance.
