Re: Agave ×arizonica
This is A. aff ×arizonica, rather than actual A. ×arizonica. It is an extremely rare habitat hybrid between a tetrapolid A. toumeyana × diploid A. chrysantha, resulting in sterile triploid progeny that leans more heavily toward its tetraploid parent because it contributes twice as much DNA as its other parent. It is a different plant than ×arizonica, but from the same parents. We have seen this referred to colloquially as "Cline's Agave" or "Star Valley arizonica".

Hi Ron, seems it could be a beautiful variant...has this cross been replicated and are there plants in cultivation?Gee.S wrote: ↑Sat Mar 10, 2018 3:37 pm This is A. aff ×arizonica, rather than actual A. ×arizonica.

Re: Agave ×arizonica
No, they're bigger than bella. Mature plant can reach about 40-50 cm.
