Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Picturesque, very large yucca with leaves in excess of 4 ft, eventually forming a large shrub or small tree, usually single trunked, to 10 ft and taller with great age. Mature plants produce white bell flowers on 4 ft spikes, usually in spring but not every spring. Native from southwestern Texas to the mountains of Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, this represents a form from Black Gap, Texas. Best with lean soil and good drainage in full sun or very light shade. Drought tolerant but faster growing with occasional summer water. Frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7.
