*** About Saguaro Cactus: Known as the giant of the desert, the saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is a symbol of the American West, specifically the Sonoran Desert. These majestic plants can live up to 200 years and grow as tall as 60 feet. The saguaro’s arms begin to grow after 75 years, and its flowers bloom at night, mainly from May to June, showcasing white, waxy petals that attract nocturnal pollinators like the lesser long-nosed bat. Beyond its ecological roles, the saguaro holds significant cultural importance among the indigenous tribes of the region, who utilize it for food, building materials, and spiritual practices.
