This majestic plant can grow over 40 feet tall and is known for its tree-like form with ribbed, columnar branches that often span out like arms. Saguaros have a slow growth rate but can live for 150 to 200 years. They are vital to the desert ecosystem, providing habitats and food for various wildlife including birds, bats, and insects. Their blossoms, which appear in late spring, are the state wildflower of Arizona.
