Height in 120 yrs = 30 ft. / 75 yrs. [ the height grown per year ] x 120 yrs. 30/75*120 = ( dividing through top and bottom of the fraction, by 15 to simplify, so you can do the math in your head, quickly ) = 2/5*120 = 48
How do you tell how old a cactus is?
It's impossible to come up with a precise age for a giant saguaro cactus [Carnegiea gigantea]. In fact, guesstimating ages just can't be done regarding any type of cactus. So much depends upon the individual cactus and upon environmental conditions. But a saguaro cactus that has at least one branching arm and that flowers, fruits, and seeds is at least 40 years old. Not one of the preceding activities takes place for a saguaro before that age. Additionally, it tends to reach its mature height of 40 feet/12 meters in around 60 years.
