Saguaros
Saguaros (pronounced sah-WAH-roes) are to the Tuscon area what big oak trees are to the Midwest and Northeast. To get this size, they are pretty old, especially if they have "arms." According to the National Park Service, they have to be 65-75 years old before they grow these arms (see http://www.nps.gov/archive/sagu/Saguaros/saguaro.htm).
