*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is more than just a symbol of the American Southwest; it serves as critical habitat and food source in its desert environment. Native to the Sonoran Desert, saguaros can grow up to 40 feet and live for more than 150 years. They bloom with white flowers in the late spring and produce red fruit by summer. These giants store large amounts of water, allowing them to thrive in the extreme desert climate. Saguaros also provide homes for desert wildlife, including birds such as the Gila woodpecker and the elf owl, which nest in holes within the cacti.
