Yucca brevifolia
Yucca brevifolia, or Joshua tree, entered popular culture in a big way with the release of U2's album "The Joshua Tree" in 1987. Now you can own the real thing.
Yucca brevifolia is the renowned and iconic Joshua tree of the Mojave Desert which has always been famous but entered popular culture in a big way with the release of U2’s album “The Joshua Tree” in 1987. This distinctive yucca is super hardy to zone 6 but requires excellent drainage and will not take winter wet. It is a slow-growing plant but would be the pride of any succulent collection.
