*** About the Saguaro Cactus: Native to the Sonoran Desert, the saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is an emblematic figure of the American Southwest. Capable of reaching heights of over 40 feet, saguaros are known for their distinctive arms, which can number over 25 on mature specimens. Despite its formidable appearance, the saguaro blooms with delicate, creamy-white flowers in late spring, which later give way to red, fleshy fruit. An important cultural symbol and a vital part of the desert ecosystem, saguaros can live for over 150 years, providing shelter and nourishment to a diverse range of wildlife.
