The Mohave Yuccas (Spanish Dagger) are certainly impressive as is the snow-capped San Gorgonio Mountain.
INTERESTING: The flower is pollinated by only a single species of Yucca Moth, and many of the flowers go unpollinated.
It reproduces only by seed, not by offsets as other Agaves do. Unlike most other members of this family, Mohave Yucca does not die after blooming, a trait it shares with Joshua Tree (Yucca brevifolia). For this reason, it tends to grow taller with age, starting at ground level as a young plant and eventually reaching 10ft. or more. Older plants are usually branched and each branch carrying a leaf rosette. Areas that support older specimens have not been disturbed or burned for many years.
