The saguaro is a large, tree-sized cactus species which can grow to be over 70 feet tall. It is native to the Sonoran Desert in the United States, state of Arizona, the Mexican state of Sonora, and the Whipple Mountains and Imperial County areas of California. The beautiful white saguaro blossom is the Arizona state wildflower. Saguaros have a relatively long life span despite living in arid conditions. They can take up to 75 years to develop a side arm and a saguaro without arms is called a spear.
The arms are grown to increase the plant's reproductive capacity. The growth rate of saguaros is strongly dependent on precipitation; saguaros in drier western Arizona grow only half as fast as those in and around Tucson. Some specimens of saguaros may live for more than 150 years. It is not usual that the saguaro is the most frequently photographed cactus.
