Yucca has succulent stem that can reach 1 to 3 feet in height and 4 to 6 feet in width. Yucca develops tough, pointed, sword-shaped leaves that grow in whrols.
Leaves are green or bluish colored and covered with white, yellowish or
creamy stripes and sharp spines on the tips. Native Americans used yucca in treatment of arthritis, painful joints,
inflammation, skin injuries, sprains and to stop the bleeding.
Yucca can survive up to 1.000 years in the wild.
