I thought these things were fake when I first moved here. Nope. They are the real deal.

How tall do they get?

[Krista Marson]

@bankmann By 95-100 years in age, a saguaro cactus can reach a height of 15-16 feet, and could start to produce its first arm. By 200 years old, the saguaro cactus has reached its full height, reaching upwards of 45 feet tall.

Wow, that's almost 14 meters...

@bankmann They are our desert 'trees'. Some of them grow taller than our actual trees, which can be quite stubby.

That's an amazing height for a cactus. Great in B&W
