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 :)

it looks like some sort of succulent to me :dunno: what though :lol:
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 :lol: ) you could email the photo to? (like a botanic gardens or something?)
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
i'll ask DH as he is a succulent nut :rolleyes:
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?
Further research leads me to think it's an Agave attenuata :) or similar
I think you were right with the Yucca Tanya! :D I think it's Yucca guatemalensis (syn Yucca elephantipes) or Giant Yucca. Whatever it is it's very hardy and easy to grow. :D
ETA: :lol: Nope, now I'm with you on the Agave attenuata! :thumbsup:
LOL... now that's settled ;)
What are you going to do with it, Enchanted?
AGAVE!!! It was on the tip of my tongue...LOL nah not really. But I know an agave when I see one!
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!
Yep I would have said Agave... we have several in our garden too ;)
They are great in pots :) So if you don't want to dispose of it, throw it in a pot :)
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.
Ooooh, Kim is it you who's the plant guru?
