This Yucca with relatively short narrow blueish leaves is native to dry areas in west Texas, Mexico, and southern New Mexico. Tall showy spikes of white bell-like flowers are followed by fruits with a pointed tip which give it its common name. It is considered one of the prettiest Yucca species. May slowly grow into a single or multiple trunk specimen. Has proven hardy in Dallas which is colder and wetter than its natural range. Plant in sunny site with well-drained soil.
