Yucca rostrata - Big Bend Yucca
Yucca rostrata (Big Bend Yucca) - A slow-growing tree-like yucca with upright stems and beautiful gray-blue narrow foliage. Although it can branch, it is most often seen with a single trunk, that can grow to 12-15 feet tall. The 2 foot long, stiff, slightly waxy, pale bluish-green leaves with yellow margins, form a dense rosette on top of the stems

Yucca linearifolia
Yucca linearifolia is a rare and beautiful yucca from Mexico with an abundance of very narrow long leaves that dance with the slightest breeze. This yucca can grow up to 6’, maybe more given enough time. I have had this yucca species survive down to 0 degrees with no damage. Yucca linearifolia is drought and heat tolerant. Like the Yucca rostrata it is a versatile plant that can grown in a wide variety of zones and conditions including desert, forested, Mediterranean, and tropical. With its relatively soft leaves it makes an excellent container plant for the patio.

Types of Yucca Trees
There are nearly 50 species of yucca trees and shrubs. Although sometimes called a type of cactus, yuccas are not cacti but are perennial evergreen shrubs and trees in the plant family Asparagaceae.
