Description
Beaucarnea Guatemalensis is found in Guatemala and Nicaragua and are closely related to Yuccas. It features a very large, wrinkled, swollen base, and very thin, long, 1 inch wide by 6 foot long, dark green grass-like leaves emerging from the top of the trunk. The swollen trunk stores water, which means that it doesn't need to be watered often. Beaucarnea Guatemalensis’ have recurved, shiny grass-like leaves that form a robust crown at the tops of branches and its main trunk. The edges of the leaves are slightly rough. The small creamy white flowers are produced only on older trees, in mid-summer.
The Beaucarnea Guatemalensis is an easy plant to grow outdoors in tropical and warm temperate climates, or as an attractive indoor caudiciform or bonsai.
