Yucca ID request...

Post by Steve-0 »

I'm thinking it's either nana or Harriman's. The car key is for scale and is about 18" up from the leaves. The globe of leaves is noticeably smaller than a basketball, but bigger than a cantaloupe. What I can't discern is the effect of locale and soil's build on growth. Obviously, the "hard life stunted plant factor" is a variable, but most Yucca I've seen are much over a foot in diameter with 5-6 foot stalks. This was growing around basalt on powdery fine sandy soil with low annual rainfall between 7-9 inches and 6,000' ASL.

Are you sure it's a Yucca? It looks kinda like Agave Filifera/Parviflora.
Don't mean to confuse the issue further sorry!
