This Yucca grows slowly to 10'-30' tall with single or multiple heads. It can look a little rough, forming a skirt of dead leaves on the trunk. Attractive, bell shaped, white flowers appear in spring. Leaves are 4' long and narrow, evergreen with sharp tips and filamentous margins. Most yuccas have fibrous roots; this has taproot and makes it very difficult to transplant. Keep winter dry. Very cold hardy.

Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball just above ground level. 3. Mix soil with 25% amendment and %75 soil. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build basin and water.
