Yucca treculeana
Yucca treculeana thrives in the beautiful landscapes of New Mexico and Texas, flourishing in areas ranging from the arid Chihuahuan Desert to the scenic Hill Country and extending nearly to the Gulf Coast, even reaching close to Houston. These plants can grow impressively large, reaching heights of up to 20 feet, with a lovely, tree-like shape characterized by branching readily from the base and higher up the trunk. The leaves are known for their durability, which allows the rosettes to gracefully elongate over time, while the dead leaves cling to the stem, giving it a unique, hairy, and irregular charm.
The leaves themselves are sturdy and come in eye-catching shades of yellow-green or blue-green. They have a lovely curved profile, typically measuring 2 to 3 inches in width and ranging from 15 to 50 inches in length. The edges often feature delicate filaments and a small spine at the tip, adding to their distinctive look. Interestingly, some experts view yucca treculeana as a synonym for yucca torreyi, highlighting the fascinating complexity of these remarkable plants.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
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.
