Native tree Yucca to the US southwest and Mexico... has whitish edges along the thin, relatively soft leaf blades, that are a dull green. Looks a bit like Yucca rostrata, only has greener leaves. Flowers form WAY above the plant, too, which sets it apart. Roots have saponin used to make soap. Great landscaping plant- good specimen for a cactus garden.
