Description:

6-8’t x 4-6’w. Yucca rostrata is found in Brewster County, Texas and down into northern Mexico. This is one of the most beautiful of the Yucca’s maturing to a height of 6-8’ with tall woody trunk and stunning blue-green foliage. Yucca rostrata is a slow to moderate grower and it is one of the most cold hardy of the tree-like Yucca’s. The pointed foliage is flexible and undulating unlike many of the Yuccas. The name rostrata means beaked—it gets this name because the seed looks like a bird’s beak. Yucca Rostrata is a great addition for any xeriscape or waterwise landscape as it is very xeric.

Yucca are known for their huge, showy spikes of white flowers.
