About This Item
Also called broadleaf Yucca. It is native native to the West and Southwestern U.S. The plant gets its common name from its fruit, which resembles bananas. It is more dwarf than other Yucca species growing 15 - 18 inches tall and 4 to 6 feet wide.
Banana Yucca is a has thick, stout olive-green leaves and big spikes of showy ivory flowers in late spring. It is very cold hardy and well-adapted for xeriscape landscaping where minimal water is required. Give it room, as it will form wide-spreading colonies of stems.
The large, banana-like fruits are readily fed upon by songbirds that eat the sweet, fleshy skin surrounding the seeds. Flower spikes may rise 2 - 3 feet above the main plant.
Due to their intense heat tolerance, they are a good plant choice for areas with reflected heat; such as city medians, desert style commercial landscapes. Banana yuccas can also tolerate some part shade and are very drought tolerant once established. Plants will adapt to just about any soil type as long as it drains well.
Minimal care is all that is necessary for this tough plant which is rarely bothered by pests and is generally not bothered at all by deer and rabbits.
