A note about Yucca (Agavaceae-Asparagaceae) in the wild in Belgium
Yucca L. (Spanish-bayonet), originally confined to the southernmost United States and parts of Central America, is a popular genus in cultivation, especially in the hotter and drier parts of the world. In Belgium a few species are grown as ornamentals, indoor as well as outdoors. In recent years Yucca is increasingly recorded as an escape from cultivation (often merely as a garden throw-out) in Belgium but little is known about the exact identity of these escapes and about their persistence.
