*** About The Saguaro Cactus: Native to the Sonoran Desert, which covers large parts of Arizona, the saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is more than merely a plant; it is a symbol of southwestern American landscapes. Towering at heights of up to 40 feet, these giants can live for over 200 years. Each saguaro's silhouette is unique, typically featuring a central column with arms that may number over a dozen. The cactus blooms in late spring, producing white flowers that give way to red fruit, an important food source for local wildlife, including birds and bats. This iconic cactus is not only a keystone species but also deeply ingrained in the cultural fabric of the region.
