Notes
Yucca grows to 6' x 4'. Has a dense rosette of steel-blue leaves. Spikes of creamy white flowers appear in early summer. One of few yuccas will tolerate shade. In low desert appreciates some shade. When they are young they tend to have a single unbranched trunk when they are older they may have more brances from the base. Native to southern Arizona, northern Mexico, and Chihuahua.
