Yucca treculeana
- Type: Yucca
Yucca treculeana is found in several northern states of Mexico and further limited to southern Texas all the way to the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. It grows usually with a single trunk, but branches out sometimes. It can reach a height of 2-7m. The leaves are dark green to blue and in natural habitat an average 80-100cm long and 5cm wide, but can in cultivation reach lengths of 120-140cm. There is also a form with broad leaves with a width of 9cm and a short form which grows around the coast of Tamaulipas and has a more slender trunk than the inland form. The leaves are straight and stiff which makes them dangerous in gardens and the leaf margin is generally smooth. The inflorescence has small creamy white flowers 2.5-5cm long and is 50-120cm high and stands at least one half above the leaves. For most people it is difficult to distinguish similar species, such as Y.torreyi, Y. schidigera and Y. faxoniana, but Y. treculeana is separated by its lack of abundant marginal leaf filaments. When trimmed the trunk has a dark reddish brown colour and deep irregular furrows. It is a good candidate for cold climates ( -15° C), as to our experience over the years it recovers very often even when the head is frozen, or rotted away.
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
