The saguaro only grows in the deserts of Arizona. If they were not protected, commercial cactus nurseries would quickly remove the plants to sell for landscaping across the warmer regions of the southwest. Texas has no such rules and areas that were once covered by a variety of cactus species and other desert vegetation are now devoid of these interesting plants.
