Dasylirion quadrangulatum
[ Agavaceae ] [ Mexico ]
A fantastic species from northestern Mexico that resembles an Australian grass tree in overall appearance, although not closely related. Unlike any other Dasylirion, it has narrow, angled, grasslike leaves that form a large, spherical crown on top of a thick, robust trunk that can reach an amazing 5 m (16 ft. tall) despite very slow growing. A landscape plant for dramatic effects, even when young, it is hardy to both drought and substantial freezes.
