With this introduction

Agave palmeri Cutty Shark Shrubs and Conifers This is our 1999 seedlingThis form of Agave palmeri is our seedling selection from a population of plants growing near Divisadero, in the northern Mexican State of Sonora. We found this form to be quite distinct from all of the AZ populations that we have visited. The tall silver blue leaves, edged with hundreds of tiny teeth, and with great bud imprinting, form a 3' tall x 3' wide (in 7 years) slowly offsetting clump quite dramatic.
