| Agave montana is a good bet, it's very hardy. http://spikyobsession.blogspot... http://www.mswn.com/media/info... |

| It looks like what we call a "Centry plant" here on the s/e coast but I'm not sure. I have something that looks just like it that is Variegated and grows to about 5' in dia but it was given by a neighbor and I don't know what it's called. |

| Janet, it does look a lot like Agave montana, but your second source says the Agave montana does not have offshoots. Mine has lots and started making them when it was quite small. |

| The fact that it does produce offshoots, and it resembles Agave montana, could indicate it is a cross with another species but nothing is certain given the many species of Agave and and crosses which may have been made. |

| It could very well be a hybrid. Thanks for looking at it and pointing me in that direction. |
