DiscoStu Posted March 3, 2015 hot, i love saguaro's; how old do you think this is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magical9 Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) if i were to guess... maybe 10-15 years? they can grow like a foot easy per season per arm. at least it seems so as i drive by hundreds of them daily. friend of mine has a saguaro that is no joke... about 5-6ft wide... the arm was about 3ft wide.. in.. sane... i didnt even know they could get so huge.

DiscoStu Posted March 3, 2015 i was under the impression that they're really slow growing, i.e. that one pictured would be 70+ years old or something 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DiscoStu Posted March 3, 2015 is it true that you can drink water out of a saguaro if you're stuck in the desert? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magical9 Posted March 3, 2015 is it true that you can drink water out of a saguaro if you're stuck in the desert? this is for sure not true and will mess you up. saguaro's actually are psychedelic but not a fun trip. do not drink a cactus for thirst 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
