As per efi thread:
The stiff erect leaves of Yucca aloifolia L.have fine sharp marginal teeth and a brown, sharp terminal spine which distinguishes it from Yucca gloriosa

Garden Plant seen in San Francisco on 1/10/14.
Could be Yucca Species?
It looks like Yucca rigida.
its yucca aloifolia “purpurea”
this is not yucca rigida
the canopy form is different , and so is the color… its yucca aloifolia “purpurea”
if you gooole just this term above you wont see tree forms, only young plants with violet leaves in pots…
but if you google “yucca aloifolia variants” you’ll see violet you’ll see tree forms and further down the page see violet leaved yucca.
see what you think
Thanks for the corrected id.

pls id this large 6-8 ft high agavaceae shrubfrom Cactus park Panchkula
Is it what we call Gaypat in Marathi? Agave sp ? Example of viviperi?
The infloresence is used as hat stand.
agave americana
It does not appear to be Agave americana
May be some Furcraea species.
It looks like a Yucca species. Perhaps Yucca gloriosa.
/species/a—l/ar/asparagaceae/yucca ?
I think this is how they look while flowers are in the bud stage. Please see this link
but this is why the maker of pictures may have to touch and feel the leaf swords/blades and look for sharp ends etc. inflorescence is often not the ultimate diagnostic feature.
In view it may be Yucca aloifolia L.rather than Yucca gloriosa
