***About Saguaro Cactus

***: The saguaro cactus, scientifically named Carnegiea gigantea, is more than just an icon of the American Southwest; it’s a vital part of the desert ecosystem. Towering over the landscape, these giants can reach heights of over 40 feet and live for more than 150 years. The saguaro blooms with white flowers in late spring and produces red fruit in summer, which are essential food sources for local wildlife. Admirably adapted to the harsh desert environment, the saguaro cactus stores large amounts of water, its expandable ribbed structure allowing it to balloon after rainfall and sustain itself during dry periods.
