I am 5’5″ tall and the camera is up to my eyes. Looking up to the sky! This large one was around 12′-15′ tall. It was huge.
This variety of Agave is one in a group of Agave called the Agave Americiana. It has several variegated versions that are common in cultivation.
This is the Marginata version with yellow striping down the sides of the leaves. The imprint of the previous leaf is imprinted on young leaves like you see here.
Wow, I should have saved that last comment for this big guy! Amazing!
lol, true. This one was twice the size of the last one.
Wow this one is taller than I am!
Amazing right? Did you know there are several kinds of these that don’t mind cold, even deep snow?
