Four Saguaros Find their New Homes in Estrella Mountain
According to the Arizona Desert Museum, the Saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is one of the defining plants of the Sonoran Desert. Many of us who have moved to Arizona from other states knew we “officially” arrived in the desert the first time we saw a Saguaro on the ride to our new homes from the airport.
Speaking of home, four Saguaro cacti have found their new homes at the entrances of the following Estrella Mountain neighborhoods: Saguaro Canyon, Saguaro Summit, Saguaro Highlands and Eagle Point. These four cacti were relocated to the Estrella Community as a result of development taking place in sections of the surrounding desert and Newland’s efforts to preserve the Saguaro cacti that are native to the desert. Newland donated these four Saguaro cacti; our common area landscape provider, Brightview Landscaping, offered to replant them at no cost to the association. A fifth, smaller Saguaro was donated by Agave, a landscaping vendor who works with Newland, and is located at the entrance to Avalon Terrace. You can learn more fun facts about this impressive cactus below…

Fun Facts
•The Saguaro is the largest cactus in the United States.
•Most of the Saguaro’s roots are only four-six inches deep and radiate out as far from the plant as it is tall. There is one deep root, or tap root, that extends down into the ground more than two feet.
•After the Saguaro dies, its woody ribs can be used to build roofs, fences, and parts of furniture. The holes that birds nest in, or “Saguaro Boots,” can be found among the dead Saguaros. Native Americans used these as water containers long before the canteen was available.
