Yuccas are exceptionally drought tolerant, not needing additional water once established in coastal California. They will however, grow faster, look more lush and bloom more if given water once they dry out. This yucca grows very quickly if given good drainage and summer water. | |

Notas de cultivo
Too shave or not to shave? Prune off the oldest leaves as they age to have a clean textured trunk. This work is best done early and consistently, as it's easy to do when you can get your pruners under the leaves, but once they start to lie down on the trunk it becomes much harder. Alternatively, leave the beard for a rustic natural look. In high fire areas we recommend removing the beard to reduce fire load, though as long as the fire isn't too hot, the beard would just burn off as it does in nature.
On warmer years we see white terminal flowers in summer. Once they fade cut out the spike as low as possible.
