Native to the Sonoran Desert, these giants can reach heights of up to 40 feet and live for more than 150 years. They are renowned for their unique arm-like branches, which may start to grow after 75 years. Saguaros bloom with white flowers in late spring and bear red fruit in summer, which are eaten by local wildlife and indigenous peoples. As a keystone species, they provide habitats and resources for a diverse range of desert wildlife.
