*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) stands as a monumental figure in the North American deserts, particularly in Arizona. This large, tree-like cactus can grow up to 40 feet tall and live for more than 150 years. Its arms begin to sprout when the plant reaches 50 to 100 years of age, distinctively identifying it among the desert landscapes. As a crucial part of its ecosystem, the saguaro provides food and habitat for a diverse range of wildlife, including birds that nest in holes they peck into the trunk. The saguaro’s bloom, Arizona’s state wildflower, emerges in late spring, adorning the desert with brilliant white flowers.:
