The saguaro cactus is the world's largest cactus species in the world.This cactus can grow over 50 feet tall and weigh over 2,000 pounds (907.185 kilograms)! It also has a lifespan of 150 years!Clarification:Actually, the cardon cactus (Pachycereus pringlei) of Mexico is the largest cactus in the world. The tallest measured 63 feet, surpassing the saguaro.
Saguaro Cactus only grow in the Sonoma Desert in Arizona. Both the Largest and the Smallest in the world, live there.

The pronunciation of "saguaro" is "seh-gwah-roh." It is a giant cactus that can grow up to 66 feet tall and produces reddish purple fruits.
Saguaro is a large, tree-sized cactus species in the monotypic genus Carnegiea.
It most likely won't grow outdoors in Missouri. It may grow indoors. A saguaro cactus [Carnegiea gigantea] isn't native to Missouri. It prefers a desert environment of high heat and light, and low moisture and vegetative competition. In terms of the outdoors, a saguaro cactus most likely won't like the eastern part of the state, which tends to have humid growing seasons. It may be able to tolerate the western part of Missouri, which tends to fit in with the drier, hotter growing seasons of the Great Plains. But no matter the part of the state, a saguaro cactus most likely won't like Missouri winters, which tend to bring the cold, damp weather that desert cactus plants detest.
Yes. Mexico is home of many cacti species, such as the cereus (cereus greggii), the saguaro (carnegiea giganteus) or the barrel cactus (echinocactus polycephalus).
No, a barrel cactus and a saguaro are two different species of cacti. Barrel cacti are smaller, rounder cacti with ribs and spines all around, while saguaros are taller, columnar cacti with arms that grow as they age. Both are native to the deserts of the Americas, but they have distinct characteristics.
