Comments:
This is a yucca with very stiff spiny leaves and tall thick trunks as plants mature and fall over from the heavy weight. Yuccas need well drained soils and full sunlight although they can tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. Borers can often be a problem on yuccas. Large floral spikes are produced atop mature yuccas during the summer and fall.
