These giants can grow to be over 40 feet tall and live up to 200 years. Saguaros are known for their iconic "arms," which generally begin to grow after the first 75 years of their life. This slow growth means that each arm of a saguaro is a testament to decades of survival in the harsh desert conditions. Furthermore, the saguaro plays a crucial role in the desert ecosystem, providing habitats and food for native wildlife, including birds, bats, and insects.
