Yucca carnerosana[2] is a species of North American plants in the asparagus family. Common name is "Giant Spanish Dagger." In the United States, it is confined to only a few counties in western Texas.[3] The species is, however, widely distributed in northern Mexico (Coahuila, Durango, Zacatecas, Nuevo León).[4][5]

This Yucca is cultivated in a few areas such as the Western United States and southern Europe, as well as other locations.[6]

Yucca carnerosana is branched and arborescent, up to 20 feet tall, with snowy white flowers.[7]
