***About Saguaro Cactus

***: The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is an iconic symbol of the American Southwest. Native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, the saguaro can grow to be over 40 feet tall. Often noted for their towering arms, these cacti can live up to 200 years and are vital to the desert ecosystem. They bloom with white flowers in the late spring and produce red fruit in the summer, which are eaten by local wildlife. Saguaros serve as natural water reservoirs and provide habitats for numerous desert animals, including birds such as woodpeckers and owls, which make nests in the holes they peck into the cacti.
