*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is an iconic symbol of the American Southwest, particularly Arizona. Native to the Sonoran Desert, it can grow over 40 feet tall and live for more than 150 years. Saguaros have a slow growth rate, typically sprouting arms when they are between 50 and 100 years old. These cacti are not only remarkable for their size and longevity but also for their role in the desert ecosystem. They provide habitats and nourishment for a variety of desert wildlife, including birds, bats, and insects. Every May and June, saguaros blossom with white flowers that open at night and close by the next midday, pollinated primarily by bats.
