The giant saguaro [Carnegiea gigantea] is a cactus that may reach an adult height of 40+ feet/12+ meters. The old man [Cephalocereus senilis] is another cactus that grows quite tall. It may reach an adult height of 50 feet/15 meters. Both also are among the longest lived cactus plants.

Are cactus plants in Big Bend country?

Yes, cactus plants are found in the part of Texas called Big Bend country. In fact, the area falls within the Chihuahuan Desert, which is considered an unusually species rich biome. For example, one-fourth of all of the 1,500 known cactus species are found in the Desert. In fact, some are found nowhere else.Unfortunately, the unique status and appeals of Big Bend country and the Chihuahuan Desert welcome some unwelcome attention. Specifically, cactus rustlers are finding it very profitable to steal and sell Big Bend area plants to cactus buyers in Arizona, California, and Nevada.
