The saguaro Carnegiea gigantea is a tree-like cactus species in the monotypic genus Carnegiea that can grow to be over 12 meters tall.
It is native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, the Mexican state of Sonora, and the Whipple Mountains and Imperial County areas of California.
The saguaro blossom is the state wildflower of Arizona.
Its scientific name is given in honor of Andrew Carnegie. In 1994, Saguaro National Park, near Tucson, Arizona, was designated to help protect this species and its habitat.
Saguaros have a relatively long lifespan, often exceeding 150 years.
