Info on the Saguaro Cactus and Ribs
The saguaro is a columnar
cactus
that grows notable branches, usually referred to as arms. Over 50 arms may grow on one plant. Saguaros grow from 3–16 m (10–52 ft) tall, and up to 75 cm (30 in) in diameter. They are slow growing, but routinely live 150 to 200 years. They are the largest cactus in the United States.
Inside the saguaro, many "ribs" of wood form something like a skeleton, with the individual ribs being as long as the cactus itself and up to a few centimeters in diameter. The rib wood itself is also relatively dense, with dry ribs having a solid density
which made the ribs useful to indigenous peoples as a building material.
