Is this Yucca elephantipes?

My knowledge of Yuccas is rather limited, I found this at the local box store with no tag.
Has bleached a bit in full sun but is steadilly growing...

I am not sure until it gets a little bigger, it is one of the following- yucca elephantipes, yucca filimentosa, of recurvafolia. My guess at this stage would recurvafolia?

DesertZone--- Thanks for your help, I hadn't realized how well these and Palms can look planted together....

To me it looks like Yucca (tip) elephantipes. But like Aaron said when it gets bigger then you should be able to tell.

I think Jay is right

Any recurv I have seen and I have seen many as they are a dime a dozen here, are much bluer than that. I would agree with Jay, it looks like elephantipes. They are not that hardy so be prepared to protect it in the winter.

I think this one will come inside for the winter, Going to be too much of a stretch to try and keep it protected in 5B

Hopefully I will find something locally that will be a little more hardy, Have found out that Y. glauca is naturalized here....
Going to take a better look around the neighborhood

What state or area are you in Steve

A little town about 30 miles from Salina,
5B/6A Hot summers & usually mild winters, (Generally it gets above freezing during the day but we always get a couple of sub-zero events.)

Best part is the almost constant sunlight
With that I can have some hope for in ground plantings.

What have you tried to grow through the winters so far?
