| Our story...Yucca faxoniana versus carnerosana |
Yucca carnerosana is often described to be the same as Yucca Faxoniana, and also sold as yucca faxoniana through other companies!
As we are the only import-exporter of Yucca Faxoniana we want to clear up some things with our experience, and show that there are big differences.
We took the 2 biggest Y.Carnerosana we could find in our giant stock and put them next to a small and big Y.Faxoniana, as you can see in below pictures. Yucca Faxoniana makes a trunk and leaves that are at least twice as big as Carnerosana....if that is not enough proof take a look at the pictures of the leaf margins. |

Not the most beautiful ones yet, but very rear! We have never, in 25 years of field experience, ever found, seen or grown a crest of Yucca rostrata or Yucca linearis. Right now these 2 plants are in our other nursery where we re-establish our rare plants...

| Agave lechuguilla ssp |
