Hi , I want to say thank you for your very informative information about the Saguaro cactus. I am an elementary school art teacher and I am showing your video in my classroom to all of my 700 art students . Your information is brief, right to the point and jam packed with information. I only have 45 minutes to teach my students, so your short and informative video is perfect. Thank you so much !

Thanks I have other videos as well from national parks but they are a bit more complex - like Mt St. Helens recovery. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h-B3pNpjx8nNmWw.html

I may have Graduated in 2019 but I’m always learning! Thank you for the very informative video on the majestic Saguaro cactus! Im from Washington where it’s too wet and cold for saguaros to grow

I grew one from a seed, I was bummed when it died at 2 years old. It was about an inch tall.

I'm currently camping at some blm land in Arizona and I parked right in between two of these HUGE saguaro cactuses. They're at least 30 ft tall. So majestic.

My saguaro has brown wooden looking callus , I think is something wrong but I can identify the problem. How can I send u a pic so u check it out ?

@MsRScienceClassK12 Жыл бұрын

The callus is probably a result of an injury, just like people have scabs and scars on their skin.

@nobullfake1169 Жыл бұрын

No that one isn’t an injury, I wish KZfaq let people send pics

@MsRScienceClassK12 Жыл бұрын

They take a more than 100 years to grow. As more and more people use the desert, they destroy the cactus. They are becoming rarer.

I always wonder why it is pronounced SAWARRO and not just its actual name SA-GUA-RO give emphasis in the actual pronunciation of the letter G

@anaxagorasofclazomenae7490 3 жыл бұрын

The name is of Mexican Spanish origin. In the Spanish language, the letter G is often pronounced like the English H. Hence, "Saguaro" would be pronounced as "Sa-Hua-Ro" or when spoken quickly, "Sa-WA-ro."

No, it's pronounced a hard G, just like you'd expect saguaro to be pronounced. It's only pronounced like a H before an I or E vowel.
