       CACTUS FACTS

       The saguaro is the largest cactus in
       the United States.
       Most of the saguaros roots are only
       4-6 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 2 feet.
       After the saguaro dies its woody ribs
       can be used to build roofs, fences,
       and parts of furniture. The holes that
       birds nested in or "saguaro boots"
       can be found among the dead
       saguaros. Native Americans used
       these as water containers long
       before the canteen was available.
