Spanish Dagger, Palma Pita |
This yucca is similar to a tree in that it grows upright to 20' tall. Leaves resemble long swords, 2.5'-4' long and 3" wide, and have a sharp tip. Clusters of creamy white flowers bloom in spring (edible if cooked), followed by brown colored fruit that turn black when ripe. Irrigate every 3-4 weeks after established, especially during summer. Plant in full sun and well draining soil in a place for all to admire.

Different areas of your landscape have different water requirements.
Shrubs need much less water than lawns and drip systems should never be scheduled on the same program with lawns.
Establish separate watering schedules for those areas.
