Quick Facts

Legend
Description:

4-5�x4-6� wide. (Also known as Agave macroculmis.)This huge, montane species is native to high elevations (7,000 to 9,000 ft.) in the Sierra Madre Mountains of NE Mexico. The large, wide leaves are gray-green in color and fiercely spined along leaf margins and at the tip. This is a relatively fast growing species that needs extra water in low desert regions. Gentry�s Agave is an outstanding species for Albuquerque, Sedona, El Paso and colder areas of TX and the Southwest. Seed for our plants was collected in an area known as Conception del Oro at nearly 10,000 ft. elevation! Rarely available in the trade. Zones 6b-9.
