*** About Saguaro Cactus: Native to the Sonoran Desert, the saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is not only an iconic symbol of the American Southwest but also a vital part of the desert ecosystem. Towering at heights that can exceed 40 feet, these giants can live for more than 150 years. Their white, waxy flowers bloom in the late spring and are primarily pollinated by bats. Saguaros have a slow growth rate and take up to 75 years to develop a side arm, a hallmark of their recognizable silhouette. These cacti are crucial for supporting wildlife, providing food, and shelter to a diverse range of desert inhabitants including birds, reptiles, and mammals.
