***About Saguaro Cactus

***: Towering over the Sonoran Desert, the Saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) symbolizes the American Southwest. These majestic plants can live for more than 150 years and grow as tall as 40 feet. Saguaros blossom with white flowers from late spring to early summer, later producing red fruit that nourishes an array of local wildlife. The arms of a saguaro typically begin to grow after it reaches 70 years of age and ensures that its legacy casts a long shadow across the desert sands, serving as a vital part of the ecosystem.
