EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this incredible photo print, witness the majestic beauty of CAN-2326, a towering Saguaro Cactus from the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, USA. With a record-breaking height of 78 feet, this giant surpasses all expectations! While the average mature height ranges between 18 to 30 feet, these charismatic cacti often reach astonishing heights of 50 to 60 feet. Weighing about 80 pounds per foot, they are truly heavyweight champions of the plant kingdom. Did you know that it takes around forty to eighty years for these giants to grow their first arms? Some even choose never to sprout any! Talk about being fashionably late bloomers! And if that wasn't fascinating enough, they can live up to an impressive age of around 200 years. But it's not just their size and longevity that make them special. These magnificent saguaros provide homes for numerous desert birds like Harris Hawks, Gila Woodpeckers, and Red-tailed Hawks. They're like luxury apartments in nature's high-rise buildings! Protected from illegal collecting (because who wouldn't want one?), these cacti have another amazing superpower – producing approximately forty million seeds throughout their lifetime. However, only one lucky seed gets the chance to mature into a new saguaro. Oh wait! There's more! One in every two hundred thousand individuals may develop a cristate
