*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is more than just a plant; it's an emblem of the Arizona desert and the American Southwest. Growing exclusively in the Sonoran Desert, saguaros can reach heights of 40 to 60 feet during their 150 to 200-year lifespan. These cacti are not just large, but are pivotal to the desert ecosystem, providing habitat and food for numerous desert dwellers. Each saguaro's arm development starts at 15 to 30 years, depending on the cactus's growth rate, which is influenced by precipitation. The white blossoms that appear in late spring are Arizona’s state wildflower.
