*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) stands as a proud emblem of the Sonoran Desert in the United States. These towering cacti are not only striking in their stature, reaching heights of up to 40 feet, but are also noted for their longevity, often living 150-200 years. They bear creamy white flowers from late spring to early summer, followed by red, fleshy fruits that are especially important to local wildlife. Saguaros begin life as tiny seeds but grow to become the largest cacti in the United States. Their distinct arms, which may number over a dozen on mature plants, typically start to develop after 70 years, adding to their iconic silhouette against the desert skyline.
