Yucca treculeana
Yucca treculeana grows over a prominent New Mexico and Texas area, from the arid Chihuahuan Desert, across the Hill Country to the Gulf Coast, east nearly as far as Houston. Plants grow large (up to 20 feet tall) and tree-like, branching quite readily from the base and higher up the trunk. Leaves are long-lasting, so the rosettes become elongated, and dead leaves persist all or most along the stem, resulting in a hairy, irregular appearance.
The rigid, yellow-green, or blue-green leaves are curved in cross-section, typically 2/3 to 2 inches in width and 15 to 50 inches in length. They usually have filaments along the edges and a small spine at the tip. Some authorities consider yucca treculeana to be a synonym of yucca torreyi.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
