*** About Saguaro Cactus: The Saguaro cactus, native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, is an iconic symbol of the American West. These towering cacti can grow up to 40 feet tall and live for over 150 years. Their significant arms, which can number in the dozens, begin to grow after about 75 years. Adapted to thrive in the harsh desert environment, they store water in their expansive trunks during rainfall, enabling them to endure the dry spells. Saguaros blossom with white flowers in late spring and produce red fruit in summer, which are important food sources for local wildlife, including birds and bats. The Saguaro cactus not only adds to the biodiversity of its habitat but also holds cultural significance for indigenous peoples, featuring prominently in their traditions and lore.
