Ground

Saguaro cacti, despite their name, are a tree that naturally occurs in arid shrublands, deserts, and extreme deserts. Saguaro cacti require Plants skill level 6 to sow. A mature saguaro cactus yields 15 Wood.

Growing

Saguaro cacti have a base growing time of 5 days, need a minimum soil fertility of 5%, and have a fertility sensitivity rating of 0%. The following table details how long it takes for saguaro cacti to grow in each growable ground type, factoring in the plant resting time and being in ideal growing conditions:

Ground Type	Gravel	Soil	Rich Soil	Hydroponics
Fertility (%)	70	100	140	280
Real Grow Time (days)	9.23	9.23	9.23	N/A
Base Yield/day	1.63	1.63	1.63	N/A

Saguaro cacti surprisingly have the highest wood yield per day out of all wood-yielding plants (except the singular Gauranlen tree) in all soils. But on the other hand looking at wood per work it's one of the worst wood-yielding plants, especially in fertile soil.

Saguaro cacti are also unique in the respect that they are the only product-yielding plant that can grow in sand. Note that since growing zones cannot be placed on sand, they cannot be planted in sand and instead they must grow naturally.

Food production

Unlike in real life, saguaro cacti don't yield any human-edible products in RimWorld.
