Carnegiea gigantea – Saguaro Cactus

Carnegiea gigantea, commonly known as Saguaro Cactus, is the iconic giant cactus of the Sonoran Desert. This slow-growing species develops tall columnar stems that can eventually form the distinctive branching arms seen on mature specimens. Its ribbed green stems store water and provide a striking architectural presence in landscapes and collections. The Saguaro is one of the most recognizable cacti in the world and is prized for its longevity and impressive stature.
