Our planet is rich from a wide variety of plants. Every geographical area has its own characteristics that make it special. Similarly, the US states of California and Arizona are the home of the largest cactus in America called Saguaro (Carnegiea gigantea). Let’s have a look at some interesting Saguaro Cactus Facts, which is also the World’s biggest cactus!
Confused about where do saguaro cactus grow? Well, it is native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, the Mexican State of Sonora, and the Whipple Mountains and Imperial County areas of California.
The Saguaro cactus doesn’t start growing branches until it is 70 years old and at least 12 feet tall. The branches of the saguaro cactus measure between 18 to 24 inches.
Saguaro is an extremely slow-growing plant in its early stage of life. During the first ten years, it grows up by 1-2 inches.
Marking 30 years which is only around one-fourth of its life, its active growth begins. So if you are wondering how can you tell how old a saguaro cactus is, look for the one that has the most branches!
If you are wondering about Saguaro cactus height, then it can grow up to 20 m (70 ft) tall. Saguaro is also one of the heaviest plants and a fully grown one can vary between 6-10 tons.
Wondering how much water can a saguaro cactus hold? During rainfall in the desert, it can soak up to 200 gallons of water!
If you squeeze a mature cactus, it is possible to get about two tons of liquid out of it.
The cactus is home to many animals–owls, woodpeckers, snakes, mice, and others. It is also a great water source in the desert.
Saguaro is a fruitful plant. It grows red fleshy fruits, which is prized by local people. Each fruit contains around 2000 seeds.
Most saguaros have shallow roots that are only 4-6
