For the first time I have seen dasylirion longissimum north of San-Luis-Potosi in Mexico (pic)1982. 1996 I got seeds from Mexico. I sew this
seeds and replanted the seedlings. I have a succulent garden on the Canary Islands today with about ten Dasylirion longissimum, after this long time
my plants begin with flowers in January 2023, five too six meters high, four male plants and one female, today, end of March, a lots of fruits.
look at the pics.

Re: Dasylirion longissimum
Last week I collected Dasylirion longissimum fruits, about 100.000 from one plant.
I have cleaned few fruits to get seeds- it takes time to clean it all !!

Be careful what you eat. Some things are poisonous. Some taste great and are healthy for you. Do some research before trying!!perez-suarez wrote: ↑Fri Jun 30, 2023 11:55 am Hola Sra. Green,
