Cowdrey: Agave, yucca not in cactus family

Posted

The agave and yucca are not cactus (“Fallen cacti in Sun Cities leaves residents concerned”); they are from the asparagaceae family, which include the lily family and also onions, leeks and garlic.

I think they are dying because of the drought and just maybe a bug.

Remember, they need water and we have had a severe shortage of water this summer.

Thank you.
