*** About Saguaro Cactus: Often recognized as the universal symbol of the American West, the saguaro cactus is more than its iconic arm-laden silhouette. Native to the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, the saguaro can grow to over 40 feet tall and live up to 200 years. These giants store large amounts of water, their pleated exteriors expanding like accordions as they hydrate. This survival adaptation makes them resilient against the harsh desert climate, supporting not only themselves but also providing habitats for desert wildlife. Saguaros bloom with white flowers in late spring and red fruit in summer, which are important food sources for local birds and animals.
