Saguaros are Amazing

Saguaros grow about one inch per year, and it takes at least 70-100 years before the arms begin to sprout. They live quite long, some are as old as 200 years. During the monsoon season, they can store hundreds of gallons of water which they use to survive during the droughts. The saguaro pictured in in the Sups, and amazingly it has over 20 arms.
