Product Description
Furcraea quicheensis
Mecate
A magnificent Furcraea that forms a stocky trunk to 2 m (7 ft.) tall which holds up to 100 broad, glaucous, minutely toothed, Agave-like leaves in an upright rosette to 2.5 m (8 ft.) in diameter. Native to the highlands of Quiche and Huehuetenango in southwestern Guatemala and the Sierra del Soconusco in southernmost Chiapas, Mexico, it is found at altitudes of 2000 to 3300 m (6600 to 11000 ft.) where it grows in pine and oak forests on volcanic soils. It prefers mild temperate climates and can take light to moderate freezes. Due to its high altitude origin it will succeed even in areas with very cool summers. A VERY RARE OFFERING OF SEEDS! 10 SEEDS PER LOT ONLY!

This review is from: 10 EXOTIC FURCRAEA QUICHEENSIS MECATE AGAVE SEEDS
Well I bought some of these from the same supplier (but not through Amazon), with the same picture and description. On germination the plantlets did not have the look of Furcraea seedlings, with which I am familiar, but looked more like Agave. They did in fact grow into fairly ordinary Agaves, not Furcraea. I contacted the supplier, who said that they would 'look right when they got older'. Also sent photos to experts on the family, who agreed on Agave.Pity, as these would be very fine plants to acquire. Old lesson: if it's too good to be true........
