Growing up to 40 feet tall, saguaros serve as nesting sites for desert birds and provide moisture and nourishment for a multitude of desert wildlife. These majestic cacti can live for more than 150 years and typically do not grow their first arm until they are 70 years old, which marks their maturity. The saguaro is particularly famed for its beautiful white blooms, Arizona’s state flower, which appear in late spring and early summer.
