Saguaros are a very slow growing cactus, growing between 1 and 1.5 inches in the first eight years of its life. Branches normally begin to appear when a Saguaro reaches 50 to 70 years of age. In areas of lower precipitation, it may take up to 100 years before arms appear. When a Saguaro reaches 35 years of age it begins to produce flowers. Though normally found at the terminal end of the main trunk and arms, flowers may also occur down the sides of the plant. Flowers will continue to be produced throughout a Saguaros lifetime. An adult Saguaro is generally considered to be about 125 years of age. It may weigh 6 tons or more and be as tall as 50 feet. The average life span of a Saguaro is probably 150 - 175 years of age. However, biologists believe that some plants may live over 200 years. The Saguaro blossom is the State Wildflower of Arizona.
