Spanish Bayonet Yucca is native along the southeastern U.S. coast and is commonly grown as an ornamental throughout the South. The tall trunks of this arborescent yucca can be in clusters and are topped with stiff leaves 1-2 feet long and several inches broad. These are tipped with very sharp points which one must be careful of. The large showy spikes of white bell-like flowers appear in summer and are followed by firm fleshy green fruits. This plant thrives in sunny locations with well-drained soil and is popular for an exotic, desert, or tropical effect.
