Thanks! I think you got it.

If you look on google maps, appears it has been there for quite some time.. Much smaller compared to your pics.  Looks like there are / were? some other, non trunking Yucca in the same yard ( to the left of this guy. )

Looks like it could be a Yucca brevifolia (Joshua tree) but I don't know how similar the y. elata and brevifolia are to one another.

I just started growing brevifolia's from seed so I'll be able to give you a better answer in 3-4 years haha

Y. brevifolia has tighter rosettes of leaves/ wider individual leaves/ short flowering stalks than elata. Also lacks the "hairs" you see on elata.

Good luck w/ Y. brev. in FL.. absolutely hate humidity, high summer rainfall.

Well this is not going to go well for them :wacko:

I hope I haven't doomed them to a life of suffering
