Re: Dasylirion or Yucca ?
Thank you for your response. On some websites, the sheets are shorter and wider. Can they vary that much?

Yes the question was for you Paul. I found that for Nolina nelsonni leaves are shorter and wider. Is there another choice ?

Re: Dasylirion or Yucca ?
Looks exactly right to me. I am quite familiar with the plant. I have several in my garden, have seen it in habitat many times and my seed collection in 2004 probably introduced it into cultivation in Europe.
Have you seen plants of Nolina nelsonii, rather than pictures?

Re: Dasylirion or Yucca ?
Yes they can. There's a lot of variation within each species which is further extended by growing conditions such as amount of sun, water and nutrition.
