tiptonla said:I measured today in the daylight and was wrong about the height. It is about 50-51 inches tall. I apologize. I did not realize how much it had grew. I do not think it could be Flaccid Leaf Yucca (Yucca flaccida) because of my mistake on the height. Am i correct about this? @kentpfeiffer
I wouldn't worry too much about the height, it varies quite a bit from plant to plant and with environmental factors. (The database entry is wrong, by the way, 2 - 3 feet would be the typical height of the foliage, but the inflorescence is usually in the 4 - 6 foot range. I'll get that fixed shortly, thanks for bringing it to my attention). Yuccas are a tough one because there is so much variability from population to population, and even between individuals within a population. Taxonomists don't even agree on how many species of yucca there are. I suspect it's going to take some extensive DNA testing to sort it all out.
That said, it's pretty likely either Y. flaccida, or Y. filamentosa. I lean towards Y. flaccida, but could easily be wrong.
