*** About Saguaro Cactus

***: The saguaro cactus, scientifically known as Carnegiea gigantea, is a species indigenous to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, the Mexican State of Sonora, and small parts of California and Baja California. Characterized by its lofty height, which can exceed 40 feet, and its arm-like branches that can number over 25 per mature plant, the saguaro is more than just a plant—it is an emblem of the desert biome. Admirably adapted to its harsh environment, it flowers in the late spring and produces fruits by summer, which are consumed by local wildlife and indigenous communities alike. The saguaro has a long lifespan, often reaching 150-200 years, making it not only a witness but also a historian of the ecological and climatic shifts in its region.
