Found exclusively in the Sonoran Desert of southern Arizona and western Sonora, Mexico, this cactus is known the world over as a symbol of the West. An extremely slow growing and long living cactus, this awesome specimen may be only 1¼" tall at 10 years but can live as long as 150-200 years. Many desert creatures make their homes in and around it during its various life stages and people have found many ways to use its skeleton when it finally does die.
