With a lifespan that can exceed 150 years, these towering organisms are vital to their ecosystem. They bloom with white flowers in late spring and bear fruit in summer, which are eaten by local wildlife. Saguaros start to grow arms around 75-100 years of age, which increases their reproductive capacity. Their significant water storage capacity, ribbed structure, and waxy skin make them well adapted to the harsh desert climate.
