I'm not really up on my succulents but looks like an Agave?  Saw this today at an abandoned house in Orange TX.  House has been empty for awhile so I'm pretty confident there was no protection for this past winter's freeze.  I didn't know they could grow like this.

Yep, Agave for sure..

If there's a nice debris filled crotch in a tree, Agave / Yucca or Cacti can sprout in it and essentially act like any other epiphytic plant.
