Carnegia gigantea (Saguaro)The saguaro cactus has been described as the monarch of the Sonoran Desert as a prickly horror as the supreme symbol of the American Southwest and as a plant with personality. The Saguaro is renowned for the variety of odd all-too-human shapes it assumes shapes that inspire wild and fanciful imaginings. Saguaro are found only in the Sonoran desert. The giant saguaro is the king of cacti. A full-grown saguaro is usually more than 35 feet in height and is at least 75 years old sometimes reaching a height of 50 feet and life span of 200 years. Some have arms but all are green and have a wax-like skin that helps prevent water loss. Rare and endangered this extraordinary giant cactus has been protected within Saguaro National Park since 1933.

That said I am happy with product and would buy from this company again
I live in Arizona and so far I've planted about half the pack and managed to get 5 saguaros to start growing. I don't what a standard rate of success is for seeds (so that could be standard for all I know), but I do wish I was seeing a little higher success rate. That said I am happy with product and would buy from this company again.
