Dasylirion wheeleri

Trimming off the lower leaves gives it a clean look.

Thanks palmbob!
This plant can survive 10F and brief periods to 0F. They don't grow that fast and need about a 4' by 4' area. They need full sun, so if you want it in the house, you'll need a large area that will have a lot of sun light. Just make sure you trim the leaves. They are sharp!

The base has been trimmed so artfully and symmetrically that it looks like a woven container or pot. Very nice!

Thanks folks. It always reminds me of a pineapple. Trimming it like that is actually very popular here in Las Vegas/Henderson area.
