*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus, scientific name Carnegiea gigantea, is more than just a plant; it is an enduring symbol of the western desert landscape, particularly in Arizona. This giant cactus can grow up to 40 feet tall and live for over 150 years. Saguaros bear white flowers in late spring and red fruit in summer. They are vital to the desert ecosystem, providing habitats and food for myriad wildlife including birds, bats, and insects. Saguaros start to grow arms around 50 to 100 years of age, which are often used to gauge their age.
