*** About Saguaro Cactus: Native to the Sonoran Desert, the saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is a symbol of the American Southwest. This giant cactus can grow to over 40 feet tall and live for more than 150 years. Most recognizable by its towering, tree-like form, the saguaro has large arms that can number in the dozens, curving upwards to the sky. The saguaro blooms with white flowers in the late spring and produces red fruit in summer, which are edible and have been harvested by the indigenous peoples of the area for centuries. As a keystone species, it serves as a critical habitat for various desert wildlife, offering both food and shelter.:
