February 23, 2015: The Swansong of an Aged Agave

Diaphone Jim · 10-20-2020, 11:46 AM

Actually, a little real competition has arisen in that my ID of Agave sisalana
may be wrong.
It may be Furcraea foetida, also called Mauritius hemp and Green aloe.
It is a different genus than agave, but so similar that I am not completely convinced. The flowers should be definitive.
It is nearly 12 feet tall and forming what will be branches up top.
Now a race against cold weather.
