Spineless Yucca (Yucca guatemalensis)

Spineless Yucca – Architectural Succulent for Modern Landscapes

Yucca guatemalensis (syn. Y. elephantipes, Y. gigantea), known as Spineless Yucca or Giant Yucca, is a striking, tree-like succulent native to Mexico and Central America. It has a thick, woody trunk topped with a rosette of long, flexible, spineless, blue-green leaves. Mature plants produce tall spikes of creamy-white, bell-shaped flowers. It is extremely drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, widely used as a dramatic focal point in xeriscapes, containers, and modern gardens. It tolerates light frost.
