    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 !

    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.

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

    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

    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.
