Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A diminutive relative of Y. elata. Tim Hannis' collection, from San Juan Co. Utah, is a small “tree” to about 3 ft with compact, symmetric heads of leaves adorned with silver filifers. Eventually offsets forming a small colony. Good for repetition or container specimen. Easier than its larger cousin. Beautiful with the foliage backlit. Drought tolerant but summer water can speed growth. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5.
