Carnegiea Gigantea: Saguaro The Saguaro is a tree-like cactus species that can grow to over 40 ft tall, and is native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, and areas of Mexico and California. Hence its origins, its blossom is the state wildflower of Arizona. Saguaros have a relatively long lifespan, often exceeding 150 years. They may grow their first side arm around 75–100 years of age, but some never grow any arms. Arms are developed to increase the plant's reproductive capacity, as more apices lead to more flowers and fruit. A saguaro can absorb and store considerable amounts of rainwater, visibly expanding in the process, while slowly using the stored water as needed. This characteristic enables the saguaro to survive during periods of drought.
