    From the mountains of southwestern New Mexico, a hardy yucca, single-trunked in youth to about 6' tall x 4' wide; multi-trunked and up to 20' tall with time in optimal conditions, the leaves -- to 3' long and gray-blue-green -- are sharply pointed and, though stiff, are more flexible than other tree-forming yuccas. Early summer flowers are white on tall stalks. For sun to part shade and very drought tolerant, this is an excellent garden species and very frost hardy, accepting temperatures to -10 °F, USDA zone 6.
