Yucca baccata
- Type: Yucca
This short, spreading yucca (also known as the Banana Yucca) occurs over most of the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico. Plants vary from a single trunk specimens to those with clumps of up to ten trunks. Yucca baccata grows slowly to 4 feet tall by 6 feet wide. The stiff leaves are 16-32 inches long by 1-2 inches wide, with curly white filaments along the margins and sharp terminal spines. In late spring and early summer, white to cream bell-shaped flowers are produced on 3 foot tall stalks. Blossoms often have a slight reddishtinge. The fleshy fruit that follows is edible and was a food source for Native Americans. This plant is very tough and durable, capable of withstanding extremes in heat, cold, and drought. However, some supplemental water provides superior performance. Plant in full sun or partial shade, with good drainage. Hardy to at least -20F.
In wet climates it is better to remove the panicle after a few weeks, as the flowers fall down in the crown and start rotting. The yucca is most vulnerable after flowering as the stalk leaves a hole through which rain water enters the hart which could lead to rot. When the old flower stalk has rotted away, it is better to seal the hole with cement; the new growing spears will push it aside.
