Description
15-18" tall x 4-6' wide. Banana Yucca (Yucca baccata) is a handsome
species with rosettes of thick, stout olive-green leaves and big spikes
of showy ivory flowers in late spring. A widespread species ranging from
west TX through NM, CO, UT, AZ, NV and into southern CA, it is very
cold hardy and well-adapted for waterwise landscapes (xeriscapes). Give
it room, as it will form wide-spreading colonies of stems. The large,
banana-like fruits are readily fed upon by songbirds that eat the sweet,
fleshy "skin" surrounding the seeds. Flower spikes may rise 2-3 feet
above the main plant.
