Towering up to 70 feet tall, this giant can live over 150 years. The saguars grow slowly, are known for their "arms," which generally begin to grow after the first 75 years. Their blooms appear in late spring - creamy white flowers that open at night and close the next day, enduring for less than 24 hours. The saguaro is not only a vital part of its ecosystem, supporting diverse wildlife, but also holds cultural significance for the Native American tribes in the region.
