Fun Facts:

A full-grown saguaro can weigh a ton.

A saguaro can live as long as one or two centuries.

The saguaro only lives in the Sonoran deserts–California, and Arizona in the United States; and in Mexico, the Sonoran desserts are in Baja California, Baja California Sur, and Sonora.

The Saguaro is the largest cactus in the United States, but not North America. (Mexico’s giant cardon is bigger).
