Tropical Plants

Yucca ID

19 years ago

Does anyone know what yucca this could be. The trunk is very thick much like my treculeana, but the leaves are much shorter, ligher/grayer and turn up at the sides, kind of boat like. They are a little thicker than treculeana as well, when I try to bend them they split up the middle. Here is a pic.

Yes, I should have gave more information. The plant looks much like treculeana but the leave are much shorter(13-16") and lighter grayer in color. The leaves are also thicker than treculeana, when I try to bend them they split down the middle. The trunck is very thick.
