Re: Agave guadalajarana
This is another Agave which leaves me confused. Each time I see a labelled plant, it appears to tbe different from the last one. Jkw

Re: Agave guadalajarana
A. guadalajarana seems to have confused Gentry as well, who placed it in the Parryanae group, rather than the Heimiflorae group, which is probably a better fit.

Re: Agave guadalajarana
These guadalajaranas seem to be very variable, some are open and some have tight rosettes. Maybe an environmental thing? I had about a dozen grown from seed, some had nice margins, some had tiny margins. Only a few left now. I wish I would have kept more of them.

Don't California my Arizona!

Re: Agave guadalajarana
This is the RSN clone, very nice and seriously outgrowing their 3-gallon digs:
Would take one home if I had the room, but alas, no dice. That and I'm pretty sure I'd impale myself trying to pick it up.

Re: Agave guadalajarana
I’ve had this Agave guadalajarana in a pot for about 4 years, but now I’m thinking of “liberating” it to the ground. How large might it become? (It’s currently about 18” across.)
