Saguaro Cactus Facts: How Fast Do They Grow?

How fast does a Saguaro Cactus grow? When will it get its first arm, if any? If you search the internet, you'll find conflicting answers to these and many other saguaro questions. In this video, ‪@PetesNature‬ gathers some real world data using photos of cacti that he observed over a 12 period, then compares it to growth rate and age data found on the internet, producing a useful chart you can use to estimate saguaro ages and heights on your own.

Do you know of more, or better data regarding Saguaro growth rates? Do you think Pete is wrong in his analysis? Please let Pete know by leaving a comment below, thanks!
