Product Description

Yucca brevifolia is called the Joshua Tree. This is a characteristic plant of the Mojave Desert and the primary reason why Joshua Tree National Park was created. Joshua Trees can grow to 30 feet with an equal spread. The rigid, gray-green leaves from 6-14 inches long and 1/2 inch wide are clustered tightly at the ends of the many branches. The cream to greenish-white flowers are in dense panicles at the ends of the branches. Yucca brevifolia has proved hardy to -10o F in Denver. Because of it's very slow growth, the Joshua Tree makes an excellent addition to your indoor cacti or succulent collection.

SOME HOW I MISSED THE FACT THAT IT WAS GOING TO COST ME $5.00 TO SHIP FIVE LITTLE SEEDS. I KNEW THAT THESE CACTI SEEDS WOULD BE HARD TO GERMINATE SO FAR NO LUCK.

MY MISTAKE
