Yucca treculeana
Spanish Dagger, Palma Pita
Description
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.
