Cacti - Carneglea Gigantea Saguaro Cactus #98
The Saguaro Cactus stands as a majestic symbol of the American Southwest, revered for its towering height and distinctive branching arms. Native to the Sonoran Desert, this giant cactus embodies the resilience and beauty of life in arid landscapes.
Distinctive Features
Impressive Size & Shape – The largest cactus in the United States, the Saguaro can reach towering heights of over 40 feet. Its thick, ribbed, and often slightly twisting central stem gives it a striking silhouette.
Protective Spines – Sharp spines cover the Saguaro’s surface, serving as a defense against herbivores while also reducing water loss.
