The Story
24-36" tall x 24-36" wide. Our plants of Yucca baccata Compacta (Banana Yucca) originate from northeastern New Mexico in Mora Co. from a population of smaller, more compact plants. The stiff, dark green leaves are very thick and substantial, almost like a narrow leaf Agave and have nice filigreed white threads on the leaf margins. The sturdy flower spikes peek up just above the top of the foliage with large ivory colored flowers. Huge fruit resembling bananas ripen in late summer. Birds love to peck the sweet fruits as food. This is an exceptionally cold hardy native succulent. (seed propagated)
