If you’re looking for a plant to add dramatic presence to your garden, the Octopus Agave will do just that. It grows with grace and beauty before blooming at full maturity. This perennial succulent grows slowly but will create quite a buzz when it reaches maturity. It towers over most succulents and produces a brilliant summertime yellow bloom on a tall spike.But don’t worry, this plant is a real looker even when not in bloom. It received its name because of its octopus-like appearance. It has exquisitely slender, long, grey-green, tentacle-like leaves that reach out from its center. These fleshy leaves have a tendency to twist and spiral from time to time.This is one of the largest rosette-shaped plants you’ll find. And its leaves don’t have those pesky spikes all along its leaf like you’re probably familiar with. Its leaves have smooth edges, and you can simply snip off the tips (and the small spike found at the very end of the leaf). Passersby will thank you, if you plant it near a path.Its fountain-like appearance will make your garden feel like a tropical oasis. This plant makes for a great landscaping accent that can bring height to your garden. Plant it at the corners of your yard or keep it in a container. This succulent will add an exotic feel to your pool area or patio.The Octopus Agave does best in full sun or partial shade. And it thrives in low-moisture well-drained areas. So, you don’t have to fuss over this low- maintenance plant. When potted, just give it a bit of water when its soil appears dry.This grand succulent will add architectural interest to your garden.

An increasing number is escaping and naturalising, also in natural habitats in the Canary Islands (Spain). However, a detailed treatment of variously naturalised and invasive species found in the wild in the Canary Islands is not available and, as a result, species identification is often problematic.

  • Ecology of Old-Growth Forests in Chihuahua, México
    THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE: ECOLOGY OF OLD-GROWTH FORESTS IN CHIHUAHUA, MÉXICO By Citlali Cortés-Montaño A dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Forest Science Northern Arizona University December 2011 Approved: Peter Z. Fulé, Ph.D., Chair Ernesto Alvarado-Celestino, Ph.D. Tina J. Ayers, Ph.D. Margaret M. Moore, Ph.D. José Villanueva-Díaz, Ph.D. Abstract THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE: ECOLOGY OF OLD-GROWTH FORESTS IN CHIHUAHUA, MÉXICO By Citlali Cortés-Montaño Old-growth forests are valuable but declining worldwide. México still holds large areas covered by temperate forests in the mountains of the Sierra Madre Occidental, but few of these retain old-growth characteristics. These forests provide habitat for Thick- billed Parrots (Rhynchopsitta pachyrhyncha: Psittacidae; “guacamaya”), a CITES-listed endangered species. We studied four old-growth remnants in Mesa de las Guacamayas, a site in the Sierra Madre Occidental in Chihuahua, México, to assess the composition, structure, and age characteristics of the overstory, relating it to fire histories and continental and regional climatic data. We linked our findings to the habitat needs of Thick-billed Parrots reported by the literature, and we studied the β-diversity of the understory plant communities at these sites and related them to the composition, cover, density and fire regimes of the overstory. We found that frequent disturbance by surface fires appears to have contributed to maintaining open, diverse, and productive forests for at least 250 years. While climate was a historical driver of the fire regimes in this mountain range, humans appear to have played a role in the fire regime interruptions of the second half of the 20th century.

Resumen Sse propone como especie nueva a Agave albopilosa, un maguey pequeño rupícola del grupo striatae, de la sierra Madre oriental. Su característica más sobresaliente es un mechón circular de pelos blancos en la porción distal de las hojas, justo debajo de la espina terminal. Las flores son ligeramente campanuladas, similares a las de A. stricta, pero con lóbulos más cortos y también los frutos son más pequeños. Se incluye una ilustración de la planta y una clave para la separación de las especies del grupo. Palabras clave: Agavaceae, Agave albopilosa, México, Sierra Madre Oriental. Abstract Agave albopilosa is described as a new species. It is a small plant, among the agaves of the striatae group, growing in the Sierra Madre Oriental. Its most notorious feature is a ring of hairs near the end of the leaves, just below the terminal thorn. The flowers are characteristic of the group, more similar to the ones in A. stricta, slightly campanulate but with shorter lobes, and also a shorter fruit. An illustration and a key to separate the species of the group are provided. Key words: Agavaceae, Agave albopilosa, Mexico, Sierra Madre Oriental.

  • Agaves Catalog
    SucculentShop.co.za Page: 2 AGAVE AMERICANA - MARGINATA - VARIEGATED CENTURY PLANT Diameter 15 - 25 cm Agave Americana, sentry plant, century plant or American aloe, is a species of flowering plant native to Mexico, and the United States in New Mexico, Arizona and Texas. It typically lives only 10 to 30 years. It has a spread around 6–10 ft (1.8–3.0 m) with gray-green leaves of 3–5 ft (0.9–1.5 m) long, each with a prickly margin and a heavy spike at the tip that can pierce deeply. Near the end of its life, the plant sends up a tall, branched stalk, laden with yellow blossoms that may reach a total height up to 25–30 ft (8–9 m) tall. SucculentShop.co.za Page: 3 Agave Americana is cultivated as an ornamental plant for the large dramatic form of mature plants—for modernist, drought tolerant, and desert-style cactus gardens—among many planted settings. It is often used in hot climates and where drought conditions occur. Agave Americana is beautiful focus plants for any succulent garden.
