*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus, native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, is more than just a plant; it is a symbol of the American Southwest. Towering as high as 40 feet, these giants can live for up to 200 years. Unique for its tall, columnar structure and arm-like branches that can number over 25, the saguaro blooms with white flowers in late spring and produces red fruits in summer, which are edible and have been harvested by the Native American Tohono O’odham nation for centuries. The cactus serves as a vital habitat for desert wildlife, including birds such as the Gila woodpecker and the elf owl, which nest in holes within its trunk.
