Does yucca palm tree grow flower in them?
The Yucca-Palm is one of the common names for the Joshua Tree. Check out this site for more information about them. It includes photos of the flower, fruit, etc. http://www.delange.org/JoshuaTree/Joshua...





IN RESPONSE TO FURTHER COMMENTS BELOW:





In the botanical world, there are often many different common names for the same plant. There are several different varieties of plant that are often described with the same common name.





As such:


Yucca Palm Tree IS one of the common names used to describe the Yucca brevifolia or Joshua Tree. It very well may be used to also describe the Yucca elata or Soaptree Yucca, but I've personally not heard it referred to as such. It does look much like a small palm tree, so I suppose it would be accurate to call it such if you desire. http://www.fireflyforest.com/flowers/whi...





St. Pepper and M W are both somewhat correct. FYI folks, the Yucca Genus is seperate from the Agave Genus, it was, however, originally classified in the Agave Family, and has subsequently been reclassified into the Lily Family. So you're both right to a point.
Reply:The most spectacular are in Peru, 15 + feet, commonly known there as agave.





The ones I see around the pacifc NW look a little scraggly after a while.
Reply:yucca and agave are completely different things...





yucca is its own genus, so is agave. they're not the same at all.





there is no yucca palm...the things people call yucca palms are actually Soaptree Yuccas, or "Our Lord's Candles." And those aren't the same, or even close to a Joshua Tree.





And a Century plant is Agave americana, not a yucca.





but yes, yuccas will flower.

Reply:Sgt Pepper your information is not correct. Although they are separate genus, they are both in the agave family.





Yes they flower, and most have scent, it all depends on the individual species whether or not it is considered a good smell.





They are all pollinated by specific species of moths in a symbiotic relationship the ensures the continuation of both species.
