A saguaro is a large cactus, Latin name Carnegiea gigantea, native to the Sonoran desert.
It is illegal to remove either living or dead saguaros from public lands.
The saguaros, like all cacti, store water in its body which has a waxy outer skin which prevents the loss of water. The leaves on the saguaros are thin needles which also have a hard outer layer and this creates a barrier against moisture loss. Even though the deserts receive very little rain, the roots of a cactus are very near the ground and soak up any moisture, rain or condensation quickly before it disappears. Since very little water evaporates from each cactus, it can survive with very sparse waterings.
The saguaro is not a Texas native. You would have to purchase one from a nursery. Some nursuries sell seed-grown saguaros on line occasionally.

In Arizona, we have creosote bushes, Ironwood, Mesquite, Cottonwood and Paloverde trees, prickly pears, saguaros, sage, Mexican evening primroses, native lantanas...roses and sunflowers and violets lavender
No, the saguaro is not a coniferous tree; it is a type of cactus. Specifically, it is known as Carnegiea gigantea and is native to the Sonoran Desert in the southwestern United States. Unlike conifers, which are characterized by needle-like leaves and produce cones, saguaros have a distinct columnar shape and are adapted to arid environments.
The saguaro cactus has a mutualistic relationship with the saguaro desert. The cactus provides shelter for birds, bats, and insects, while these animals help pollinate the cactus and disperse its seeds.
