Got this dasylirion today which looks a whole lot like a D. Wheeleri but almost totally toothless with just a few teeth near the trunk on a few of the leaves.
Is there such a thing as a bald wheeleri or is it some other type???
Thanks
Richard

Re: Nearly toothless dasylirion
Apparently this is a hybrid native to freeway underpasses just outside Tuscon with a range extending north to Las Vegas, west into the inland valleys of California and east into Albuquerque known as the crack-head dasylirion. Over the last few decades their range has expanded as their popularity has grown to become an invasive species across the country.
