Did you know? The Sonoran Desert is the only place in the world where saguaro cacti grow! 🌵 Here are some other fun facts about this Scottsdale desert staple:

💪 It can take 50-70 years for a saguaro to grow their first arm

🏢 They can grow up to 50 feet tall (that’s a three-story building!)

☀️ Their spines not only protect them from animals, but also the sun

🪺 Nest holes in saguaros are typically made by Gila woodpeckers

🌼 The white blossom of the saguaro is the state flower of Arizona
