Yucca
Faxoniana, “Great White Dagger”
USDA Zone 5b (- 15°F)
Everything about this yucca
is oversized and dramatic. Commonly sporting multiple heads as the
age, they can grow to 25 ft tall with massive trunks. Thick, rigid,
dark green leaves 2 to 3 ft long radiate from full heads. Almost
indestructible to handle, they transport easily and require little (if
any!) additional watering. Used instead of trees in municipal landscaping
in Albuquerque, El Paso, San Antonio, and other SW cities.
