*** About Saguaro Cactus: The saguaro cactus, native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, California, and Mexico, has become a symbol of the American Southwest. Its imposing stature and distinctive arms, which can stretch upwards for over 25 meters, make it an iconic presence in the desert landscape. Saguaros bear white flowers, Arizona's state wildflower, in late spring and red fruit in summer, which are edible and have been used by native people for centuries. The cactus serves as a vital habitat for desert wildlife, providing nests for birds and serving as a food source for many desert animals. The lifespan of a saguaro is often 150-200 years, growing arms typically after 50-70 years, which are indicators of a saguaro's maturity.
