The Saguaro cactus [Carnegiea gigantea] takes about 40 years before it forms its first branch. That also is the length of the wait before the plant's first buds. As a result, the plant's hallmark huge flower and tasty fruit likewise don't show up until the giant cactus is about one-fifth of the way through its 200 year life expectancy.
