Re: Agave ID3
I'd go with A. tequilana.
Agave
"American aloe plant," 1797, from Greek Agaue, proper name in mythology (mother of Pentheus), from agauos "noble," perhaps from agasthai "wonder at".

Less thorns for Agave tequilana. Could be as well A. sisalana, which you can see often in Mediterran Gardens. Normally this agave produces many offsets. Are there any?

Re: Agave ID3
Thanks Miguel, I haven't seen offsets around. I got A. americana from other forum...Do you think it is possible ?

No, it's definitely not americana.
