Description Yucca is an evergreen shrub or small tree that grows about 5 meters (16 ft.) tall, with a dense crown of spirally arranged bayonet-like leaves on top of a conspicuous basal trunk. It is found growing mostly in rocky deserts, prairies, coastal sands, grasslands, light woodlands and mountainous areas. The plant generally requires dry, sandy, well-drained soil. Rhizome may reach 0.6 to 0.8 inch (1.5-2 cm) in diameter and 8 inches (20 cm) in length. Bark is gray-brown, being covered with brown dead leaves near the top, becoming irregularly rough and scaly-to-ridged closer to the ground. Stems are succulent that can reach 1 to 3 feet in height and 4 to 6 feet in width. Leaves Leaves are 30-150 cm long and 4-11 cm broad at the base, tough, pointed, sword-shaped that grow in whorls.
