Yucca baccata - Banana yucca
Banana Yucca are heat tolerant, cold hardy and easy to grow! Narrow but thick, sharp-pointed blue-green leaves have thick curly white filaments along their edges. Plants form a good size, open rosette. Once mature, plants will form a flower stalk comprised of white-green bell-shaped flowers tinged with purple. Edible, 4-6in. banana-like fruit form in the fall from spring to early summer flowers after they are pollinated by moths. Mature plants can reach 4-6 ft. across and develop multi-trunks to form clumps, but banana yuccas are slow growing, but long lived plants are hardy to -20°F. USDA zone 5a. (Shipped bare root for ease)

DOMESTIC USA SHIPPING
Our horticulture experts will determine if the plant needs to be shipped in soil, based on the particular species, size, and your hardiness zone. In general, agaves, cacti, and succulents will be shipped without soil, called “bare root.” (see below) We will find the best freight carrier to your address. While our top priority is a healthy, happy plant delivery, unfortunately, we have no control over how carriers handle our packages, nor where they are dropped off.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
All plants shipped beyond the USA mainland, including Alaska and Puerto Rico, will be shipped “bare root.” (see below) All plants shipped internationally, including Puerto Rico, require a Phytosanitary Certificate from the US Department of Agriculture.
