Towering up to 40 feet tall and sometimes living longer than 200 years, these giant cacti are known for their distinctive arm-like branches that stretch out from their columnar trunks. Saguaros bloom with white flowers in the late spring and produce fruit during the summer, which are consumed by local wildlife, thus playing a crucial role in their habitat. Interestingly, each saguaro's silhouette is unique, often reflecting its survival story in a harsh but beautiful landscape.:
