Saguaros usually grow under a nursery tree or bush until they get much older. A saguaro this size is likely more than a hundred years old. By the time the saguaro is mature, the tree or bush has usually died after providing shade for the young saguaro plant. If I had worked at creating this planting of cactus and trees I could not have achieved a better composition. Please click on the image to see the detail.
So these saguaros are much older than us. Interesting.
