Selvom Saguaro kaktus er den kaktus man mest forbinder med "Det Vilde Vesten" er den ret sjælden, og er faktisk kun udbredt i dele af Arizona.

Although Saguaro Cactus is the cactus most associated with "The Wild West" it's really rather rare and grows abundantly only in parts of Arizona.

Saguaroer bliver op til 200 år gamle og omkring femten meter høje. De vokser i begyndelsen meget langsomt, og fra at være småbitte sorte frø til de er to-tre cm høje, går der ti år.

Saguaros can reach an age of 200 years and a height of about fifty feet. In the beginning they grow very slowly, and it takes them ten years to go from teeny little black seeds to about an inch tall.
