Yucca elata
Soaptree Yucca
Information by: George Hull MSN Photographer: Mountain States Nursery
Description
This Yucca grows slowly to 10'-30' tall with single or multiple heads. It can look a little rough, forming a skirt of dead leaves on the trunk. Attractive, bell shaped, white flowers appear in spring. Leaves are 4' long and narrow, evergreen with sharp tips and filamentous margins. Most yuccas have fibrous roots; this has taproot and makes it very difficult to transplant. Keep winter dry. Very cold hardy.

Water Saving Tip:
Mulching and adding compost to soil can minimize evaporation and help soil absorb and store water.
