The '''Saguaro Cactus''' is a [[desert]] plant that grows mainly in the southern portion of the state of [[Arizona]] and southeastern [[California]] and northwestern [[Mexico]].<ref>http://www.desertusa.com/july96/du_saguaro.html</ref> As with most cactus, the Saguaro requires little water and thrives in the desert. It stores water internally and uses it as needed. It grows very slowly, about an inch a year and typically grows to heights of 15 to 50 feet tall. The Gila [[Woodpecker]] and the Gilded Flicker make their home in the Saguaro Cactus by chiseling out small holes in the trunk.
