The Saguaro Cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is one of the iconic plants of the Sonoran Desert in Southern Arizona and Western Sonora, Mexico. These plants are large cacti that develop branches as they grow and mature. The branches generally bend upward but not always. The fluted trunks and branches of the saguaro are covered with protective spines. In the late spring the plant develops white flowers and red fruit forms in the summer.

Saguaros are found only in the Sonoran Desert. To thrive they need water and the correct temperature. At higher elevations, the cold weather and frost can kill the saguaro. The Sonoran Desert experiences monsoon rains during July and August. This is when the saguaro obtains the moisture it needs to survive and thrive. These saguaro cacti were found in Catalina State Park near Tucson, Arizona, USA.

Oracle State Park is a nature reserve located in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains of southern Arizona. The park’s almost 4,000 acres lies within the transition zone between the Sonoran Desert and the oak woodland. At an elevation between 3,000 to 4,500 feet above sea level, the area supports a diverse habitat including grasslands, cacti, mesquites, junipers and oak. The state park was established in 1986 when the State of Arizona acquired the Kannally Ranch and surrounding land to protect the natural and cultural resources of the area and provide recreational opportunities for the public. This grassland was photographed from the Cherry Wash Trail in Oracle State Park near Tucson, Arizona, USA.
