Saguaro Folklore & Trivia

The Saguaro blossom is the state wildflower of Arizona. The Saguaro cactus may grow its first side arm anywhere from 75 to 100 years of age, but some never grow one at all. A Saguaro without arms is called a spear. The arms are grown in order to increase the plant’s reproductive capacity.¹
