The сагуаро is a large cactus native to the Sonoran Desert in North America. It can grow to be quite tall, reaching heights of up to 40 feet (12 meters) and living for over 150 years. The cactus is easily recognizable by its tall, tree-like structure and its upward-reaching arms. During the spring, the сагуаро produces beautiful white flowers that bloom at night and close by the next day. These flowers are important for local wildlife, as they attract various pollinators, including bats and bees. The cactus also produces red fruit, which is edible and has been used by indigenous peoples for food and traditional practices.
