Growing up to 40 feet tall, these giants are not only a vital part of the desert ecosystem, providing habitat and food for wildlife, but also a cultural icon, deeply ingrained in indigenous and local traditions. Saguaros have a long lifespan, often reaching 150 to 200 years, with their arms beginning to grow after 75 years. Their blossoms are the state flower of Arizona.
