Nolina matapensis
Tree Bear Grass
A Mexican native, this lush-looking
species has long, strap-like, glossy
green leaves with sharp edges. It is
an arborescent plant, which means it
will slowly develop a stout trunk
over time. As this is a large specimen
plant with sharp leaf margins, it
should be provided ample room for
growth away from walks and paths.
Old foliage will turn brown and cling
to the trunk to form a skirt, but may
be removed if desired. Bees will be
attracted to the flowers. Full sun,
reflected heat, plants are very
drought tolerant once established.
