Best Answer

Yes, saguaro is the biggest cactus and it can be found in Mexico and South America and it has the height of larger than a 5-storey building (58 feet tall most likely). thus it is a slow growing cactus.

Another Answer:

No, the saguaro is not the largest cactus. Pachycereus pringlei, also known as Mexican Giant Cardon or Elephant Cactus, is a species of cactus that is native to northwestern Mexico in the states of Baja California, Baja California Sur, and Sonora. It is commonly known as Cardón. Cardon is the tallest cactus species in the world, with a maximum recorded height of 19.2 m (63 ft), with a stout trunk up to 1 m (3.3 ft) in diameter bearing several erect branches. In overall appearance, it resembles the related saguaro (Carnegiea gigantea).
