Agave sanpedroensis is a perennial rosette-forming plant with succulent leaves, 50–70 cm tall and wide and producing abundant offsets.The leaves are stiffly upright, gray to grayish green, with conspicuous banding and white bud-imprinting, and undulate margins.
The leaf margins have fine teeth and leaves taper to a non-spiny tip. [7] Leaf shape and size in Agave virginica vary with soil type, amount of shade, length of cold period, and position of leaf in the rosette. Speckles and spots occur frequently on some leaves in most populations, and some authors have used the informal designation "forma ...
The leaves are shaped narrow to ovate, measuring 20–50 cm (7.9–19.7 in) long by 8–20 cm (3.1–7.9 in) wide, with the abaxial (lower surface) surface convex. Leaves feel thick, fleshy, and rigid, and their margins are armed with colorful and well-defined spines. The spine at the tip of the leaf measures 2–4 cm (0.79–1.57 in). [12] [13]
Navigating wet leaves That fall foliage can accumlate and get wet, creating a slippery surface that’s ripe for slips and falls. “If you have the ability, do not walk on wet leaves,” Bachmann ...
