Can you help me identify this plant?

[Enchanted]

We have a plant in our backyard that we had no idea what it is!

It looks awesome and would love to put a name to it. I have uploaded a photo HERE and would greatly appreciate the help!

TIA

[Olive]

it looks like some sort of succulent to me what though

[ss_storm]

whoa that's big! Do you have a local plant nursery you could show the photo to? Or there may be some professional plant person (yes, technical term ) you could email the photo to? (like a botanic gardens or something?)

[Pandora]

Yes I agree it looks line a succulent. There used to be a bb'er who was a horticulturist but I haven't seen her for a while
Go to a nursery (or find online ) and show thm the photo

[Olive]

i'll ask DH as he is a succulent nut

[Enchanted]

Thanks girls. I have been meaning to take the photo to a local nursery. I will be heading past one tomorrow so may take the camera there if we don't find the answer here before hand!

Thanks so much

Looks like a variety of yucca?

[Tanya]

Further research leads me to think it's an Agave attenuata or similar

[Epacris]

I think you were right with the Yucca Tanya! I think it's Yucca guatemalensis (syn Yucca elephantipes) or Giant Yucca. Whatever it is it's very hardy and easy to grow.

ETA: Nope, now I'm with you on the Agave attenuata!

[Tanya]

LOL... now that's settled

What are you going to do with it, Enchanted?

[AnyDream]

AGAVE!!! It was on the tip of my tongue...LOL nah not really. But I know an agave when I see one!

[Enchanted]

We're not sure what to do with it. It's in the middle of where we want to put a few things. It is such a gorgeous plant though.

Thanks so much girls for your help!

[MistyFying]

Yep I would have said Agave... we have several in our garden too

[Tanya]

They are great in pots So if you don't want to dispose of it, throw it in a pot

[*Beema*]

Definitely Agave attenuata, they are very expensive to buy, especially at that size, they create little suckers/new plants, I recommend potting them up.

That's one very exxie plant you have growing there. It's beautiful.
