Giant Saguaro cactus seeds (Carnegiea gigantea) -50 seeds-

Description: Giant Saguaro Cactus Seeds (Carnegiea gigantea) -50 seeds- (Carnegiea gigantea) is a tree-like cactus species in the monotypic genus Carnegiea, that can grow to be over 40 feet (12 m) tall and up to 75 cm (30 in) in diameter.. It is native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, the Mexican State of Sonora, and the Whipple Mountains and Imperial County areas of California. The saguaro blossom is the state wildflower of Arizona. Its scientific name is given in honor of Andrew Carnegie The saguaro is a columnar cactus that grows notable branches, usually referred to as arms. As many as 49 arms may grow on one plant.They are slow growing but routinely live to 150 or 200 years old. They are the largest cactus in the United States. The growth rate of saguaros is strongly dependent on precipitation; saguaros in drier western Arizona grow only half as fast as those in and around Tucson The white, waxy flowers appear in April through June, opening well after sunset and closing in mid-afternoon. They continue to produce nectar after sunrise. Flowers are self-incompatible, thus requiring cross-pollination The utility of the saguaro was well known to Native Americans such as the Tohono Oʼodham, Pima and Seri peoples, who still use nearly every part of the plant. The fruit and seeds are edible, being consumed fresh and dried, and made it into preserves and drinks. The Tohono O'odham use long sticks to harvest the fruits, which are then made into a variety of products including jams, syrups, wine. The Tohono O'odham begin their harvest in June. A pair of saguaro ribs, about 6.1 m (20 ft) long, are bundled together to make a harvesting tool called a kuibit. The Tohono O'odham traditionally reduces the freshly harvested fruit into a thick syrup through several hours of boiling, as the fresh fruit does not keep for long
