Pollination depends on the yucca moth. Neither Yucca or the moth can complete its life cycle without the other. Often with coarse fibers at leaf margins. Leaves were used by Indians and pioneers to make coarse rope and the roots to make soap. Good for hot, dry, sunny spots where it is difficult to establish vegetation.
Leaves have sharp tips, use away from high traffic area such as sidewalks and driveways.
Leaves are blue green, broad with fibrous margins. Fruit is more fleshy than other species and is edible although not particularly tasty. There are about 40 species but these three are the most commercially available yuccas for the high plains and foothill regions of the Rocky Mountains. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express.
