Yucca treculeana var. canaliculata (Giant Spanish Dagger)
SunZone: 7-10, possibly colder 120" tall Origin: USA, Mexico
Although no longer recognized by herbarium taxonomists, Yucca treculeana var. canaliculata is quite distinct from typical Y. treculeana in its Sasquatch-like proportions. This giant is made up of stiff 5' long glaucous green leaves (3.5' is typical) radiating out from the massive 1' thick trunk. This giant form hails from the Rio Grande region of south Texas, where it forms monster-sized clumps along the Texas-Mexico border. In the garden, our 7-year-old deer-resistant clumps are 10' tall x 11' wide. Mature plants are topped with massive globes of white that open to reveal the white bell-shaped flowers. If you need to stop trespassing deer....this is your plant!
