Yucca baccata 'Banana Yucca' COLD HARDY Seeds!

Yucca baccata 'Banana Yucca' Seeds

Oregon Blue/Grey form - Cold Hardy -20F!

The Banana Yucca is a striking species of yucca that can grow a single trunk or multiple trunks with dense, thick, rigid crown of foliage, reaching heights of 6-12 ft. tall. Produces a beautiful flower stalk that features white flowers with purple tips. Unlike other varieties of yucca, this yucca produces large edible fruits that look like small bananas!

Banana yucca is native to the desert regions of Mexico and parts of the American southwest where it tolerates heat, aridity, sun and temperatures to 0°F or below. It develops striking foliage character and colorful flower clusters that make it popular as an accent plant in southwestern and Mediterranean style gardens, perfect for xeriscaping! It is often grown with other cacti and succulents, in raised planters and amount boulders.

These particular seeds were collected from our own parent trees in the high desert of Central Oregon, U.S.A. This variation seems to produce a striking blue/grey color foliage that seem to glow in the sun! Parent trees have been growing in our cold high desert garden where they routinely see temps as low as -10F! The parent trees have survived -12F with NO DAMAGE whatsoever and we think these plants are cold hardy to well below -20F... zone 5!! These even seem to grow much faster than standard Yuccas!

These seeds are fresh and ready for planting!
