*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is an iconic symbol of the American Southwest, particularly Arizona. These majestic plants are known for their towering height, which can reach over 40 feet, and their distinctive arm-like branches. Saguaros are incredibly slow-growing, often taking up to 75 years to develop a side arm. Adapted perfectly to the harsh desert environment, they store large amounts of water, their waxy skin and spiny surface discourage animals from eating them for moisture. Each spring, saguaros bloom with white, night-blooming flowers that provide food for local wildlife, including bats and birds.
