Beaked yucca is distinguished by its single, tree-like trunk which can reach 12-15 feet (3.7-4.6 meters) in height, typically with a solitary stem. The trunk supports a dense, spherical rosette of stiff, slightly waxy, narrow leaves that are each about 2 feet (60 cm) long. These pale bluish-green leaves feature yellow margins and form a striking silhouette. On mature specimens, pillars of white flowers on yellow-orange stalks emerge in late spring, rising above the foliage. The trunk often showcases a soft gray covering, remnants of old leaf bases, adding to its textured appearance.
