About This Image

While visiting my daughter and grand kids in Kearny, Arizona I took some photos of the Saguaro that are everywhere. The range for the Saguaro is in the Sonoran Desert of extreme southeastern California, southern Arizona and adjoining northwestern Mexico. The Saguaro grows very slowly at around an inch a year and growing to heights of 15 to 50 feet. The largest plants, with more than 5 arms, are estimated to be 200 years old. An average old Saguaro would have 5 arms and be around 30 feet tall. I think the Saguaro starts to grow the arms at around 70 years old - I mean young LOL.

Hi Lorraine and Carol.. Thanks so much for your nice comments :) It is rough country around Kearny with nothing but hills, but really fun to drive up and down the roads among them. We went driving on a dirt road and it felt like we were in a covered wagon heading west LOL..
