Re: Agave americana
My largest Agave at 6' x 10'. I cleaned more than 100 pups out of there about a year ago.

Re: Agave americana
Possibly Asperrima given their smaller size? They are native as well to South Texas and there are forms similar to what’s in the picture. Can’t tell 100% looking at the photos through my phone.
