Yucca brevifolia 'Jaegeriana' (Dwarf Joshua Tree) COLD HARDY

Yucca brevifolia 'Jaegeriana'

Dwarf Joshua Tree - LIVE Plant


This rare and hard to find variety of the ever popular Joshua Tree is a compact, dwarf-type, handsome and striking subtype of the larger species. This 'other worldly' yucca that grows multiple trunks (after flowering) and has compact, dense crowns of foliage, 4-8 ft. tall; stiff blue-green leaves are 6"-10" long, have stiff tips and together create a large yet pointed circular canopy; old leaves persist on trunks for many years unless removed. Striking clusters of creamy-white flowers occur on long stalks well above the foliage in early spring.

These particular plants were grown from seed sourced from parent trees growing on private property in the high desert near the border of Nevada & Oregon, U.S.A. This variation seems to produce a striking blueish color that seems to glow in the sun and moonlight! Parent trees have been growing in the cold high desert where they routinely see temps as low as -15F! The parent trees have survived with NO DAMAGE whatsoever and we think these seeds are cold hardy to well below -20F... zone 5!! These even seem to grow much faster than many other yuccas we grow!
