Yucca elata - Soaptree Yucca
Yucca elata
Soaptree Yucca has Long, slender, green sharp-tipped leaves with strong white margins. White threads also highlight the leaf margins and form a dense crown atop stout branches. During spring, tall, branched stalks form on mature plants to display bell-shaped white flowers high above the foliage. These attractive blooms are NM state flowers. Soap tree Yuccas are found from southern NV, throughout AZ, to southern NM, and into west Texas and are hardy to about -10°F with well-drained soil. These Yuccas quickly develop a tap root, so they resent being moved once established, so pick the perfect spot to plant them and leave them forever.

Grows to 15 feet high x 4-6 feet wide, with branches

DOMESTIC USA SHIPPING
Our horticulture experts will determine if the plant needs to be shipped in soil, based on the particular species, size, and your hardiness zone. In general, agaves, cacti, and succulents will be shipped without soil, called “bare root.” (see below) We will find the best freight carrier to your address. While our top priority is a healthy, happy plant delivery, unfortunately, we have no control over how carriers handle our packages, nor where they are dropped off.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
All plants shipped beyond the USA mainland, including Alaska and Puerto Rico, will be shipped “bare root.” (see below) All plants shipped internationally, including Puerto Rico, require a Phytosanitary Certificate from the US Department of Agriculture.

Please check with your local customs department to see if you need any additional certifications, such as import permits. Note: while we have extensive experience and a track record of successful international plant shipments, we are unable to guarantee the plants' condition upon arrival.
