As the largest cactus in the United States, it can grow over 40 feet tall and live up to 200 years. Characterized by its towering, tree-like structure with ribbed, columnar stems that bear spiny arms, the saguaro blooms with white flowers in late spring, followed by red fruit in summer. These cacti serve as vital habitats for desert wildlife, offering nesting sites for birds such as the Gila woodpecker and purple martins, making them crucial to the desert’s biodiversity.
