*** About Saguaro Cactus: Native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, the saguaro cactus is a symbol of the American Southwest. This impressive plant can grow to over 40 feet tall and live for more than 150 years. The saguaro's thick, waxy skin helps to retain moisture, while its ribbed surface allows it to expand during rainfall and contract during drier periods. Each saguaro's arms start to grow after 70-100 years, adding to its distinctive silhouette against the desert sky. These cacti are not just spectacular natural sculptures; they also offer habitats and food for the desert’s wildlife, playing a crucial role in their ecosystem.
