A saguaro cactus decorated with lights in Arizona
Perhaps the locals in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert area were being eco-conscious when they decorated this saguaro cactus instead of putting up a pine tree. The saguaro can grow taller than 20 metres and is only found here in the Sonoran Desert, across the border in Sonora, Mexico, and a small portion of south-east California. Though the saguaro isn’t endangered, it's heavily protected by local laws in its relatively small natural habitat.
