Cacti are plants almost always associated with the desert and especially with Westerns. Most commonly, you’ll see the tall Saguaro cactus with its twin arms.
Technically this isn’t realistic. The iconic Saguaro cactus is native to parts of Arizona, Mexico and California. Yet, you may see it just about any desert, even those not in North America. However we have to understand that cartooning is NOT meant to be realistic. It’s intended to be a shorthand. The presence of cacti is meant to signal to readers that this is a desert.
