Carnegiea gigantea
The iconic giant of the Sonoran Desert, the saguaro can grow over 40 feet tall and live for 150+ years. With its classic arm-like branches, it's a true desert symbol. White flowers bloom in late spring, followed by red fruit in summer—both important to local wildlife. Slow-growing and majestic, the saguaro is protected in Arizona and deeply rooted in the culture of the Southwest.
