Bought these two young yuccas on the web:

Leaves are not serrated but they have sharp tips and some very small fibers. They were sold as glauca. The seller had following photos o his auction:

That's my third attempt when I try buying Y. glauca

Hello Marcelli,

To me, does the plants you have received not look as Yucca glauca, the leaves are way too wide, and they don't show any sign of fibers either, which they should at this size. How does the roots and rhizome look?

The 3rd. photo is stolen from my website, it's Yucca 'Elena's Star' (a named hybrid of Yucca glauca x filamentosa) when it was a young specimen!!!! Here is the page which the photo were stolen from: http://www.bennyskaktus.dk/yucca-hybrid ... _Star.html You can see, that my copyright information is neatly cut away.!!!!

You are welcome to send me personal message.

Best wishes

Benny

I'd like to think that buying from reputable dealers meant that you got the real deal. I bought a large trunked Nolina Matapensis from a reputable German Nursery only to find it was actually Nolina Hibernica. At least the French Nursery got this one right Yucca Glauca (in flower)

Marcelli... your Yucca looks too green and the leaves look straggly or not rigid at all. I don't know what you paid for your Ebay Yucca but Palma Palmetto are selling both Yucca Glauca "Oklahoma" and "Wickenburg" for €18 and €19 respectively http://www.palmapalmetto.com/yuccas/?p=2
Hope that helps you

That's what I thought: glauca my a** !

Benny's photo is still there. That guy can't read English, I guess

Another one to identify!

Can it be Y. rostrata 'Sapphire Skies'? The seller says it is. Young plant. Leaves are serrated, blueish-gray color, stiff:
