*** About Saguaro Cactus: Native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, the saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is celebrated for its considerable size and distinctive shape, making it an iconic symbol of the American West. Saguaros can grow to be over 40 feet tall and live up to 200 years. They are particularly noted for their slow growth rate and their ability to store vast amounts of water, which allows them to thrive in the harsh desert ecosystem. Their blooming white flowers, usually visible in late spring and early summer, are Arizona’s state wildflower. These magnificent cacti support a wide array of desert wildlife, providing habitats and food sources for birds, insects, and mammals.
