Yucca periculosa Edmund Cuthbert at home in a wetlandIzote Yucca is a large tree like yucca from desert areas in central Mexico. The tall simple or branched trunks are crowned by relatively long narrow sword like leaves typical of yuccas. The white bell like flowers in tall terminal branched spikes atop the mature plants are likewise similar to other yuccas. This rarely offered yucca appears to be relatively hardy and adaptable and would make a bold statement in any landscape where it could be grown.
