This isn't a yucca plant, nor is it an agave and it isn't a cactus. It does fall in the overall category of succulents, but it is a tough desert dweller that has a variety of uses. The teeth along the perimeter of the leaves are very sharp but not so large as to cause many problems. Sotol are more common to the east and south of the Salt River Valley, but they can be found in a variety of locations around the state. Unlike agave and yucca, sotols are not a favorite landscape plant in Arizona. I like their form and color.
