Yucca carnerosana is a large imposing plant. In its native climes, it can reach up to 4-8 m. The leaf margin shows a brown line from which thick, striking white filaments producing a dramatic top to this stunning plant. This yucca hails from western Texas and the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuile, Nuevo Leon, San Luis Potosi and Zacatecas Y.
Carnerosana is cold hardy from -12 to maybe -18° C when kept dry. In cool wet winter climates it is better to protect the crown against rain, because it is sensitive to rotting. Like all yucca’s they like sun and a well drained soil. 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 heart 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.
