Posting some photos of my Agave congesta. I obtained this plant in 2011 from Arid Lands as a 5-inch seedling. It’s been growing in the ground for about 12 years, and it's now about 4 feet high by 6 feet wide. It’s planted under an oak tree where it receives part shade in the morning and full sun in the afternoon.
