I've made didgeridoos out of those massive peduncles here in Chile, SUPER easy to do too if you compare it to making one out of a tree trunk or branch.
One of the few things the landscapers for the apartments in my neighborhood did right were to plant a bunch of yucca and agave species. They're all in full bloom right now too. ✌️
I've got like a dwarf species that germinated in a pot of rocks and sands years ago on its' own. Friggen love Agaves. Took it's pup and put it in another pot, once both of them are producing more i'll start spreading them to urban grass plots.
i love it! one time an agave poked right through my thumbnail and it started bleeding underneath the nail. it was at this time i decided i love this plant. the flowers are otherworldly.
Joey i'm telling you man these agave can really take a lot of cold as long as their roots stay dry during the winter. I see them all over the place here in the DC metro area im sure they're more cold hardy north up to new york too
Dude, you should see these in continental Portugal, the flower grows like 40 ft, high, fn amazing, really, the one in our front yard is fn giant, like every, 10 years, bink a fn flower (tall af stalk)!
Funny you have a segment on Agave Weberi since I got one from a landscaper that reclaims them and sells them for much less here in Phoenix. I'm planting it under a big mequite tree near my front sidewalk. We have a Nazi from the city that will cite me if it encroaches on the sidewalk like my fountain grass did last fall. I'm very aware of its growth potential. You can do this if your get rid of the damn grass. Better than barren rock that does nothing but rise the heat level here, which today has drop from 110 to 106.
Some plant folks in the humid SE have figured out these will live here if planted in scree. You wouldn't believe what they're selling them for. The more people pay, the better they like them 😕 Silly humans 🤣

Aloe and other plants should help with the mission, not just agave. In Costa Rica I ate the flowers of a plant I think is related to agave. It dies after flowering and looks like a Spanish bayonet plant but the pointy leaves aren't so hard or nasty. The cluster of white flowers is edible but there's a part that tastes bitter so we removed it the second time we made it. My (Costa Rican) wife made it with bell pepper, onion, garlic and whatever else in a pan. Picadillo is the name of the way she made it but you can make picadillo out of lots of things.
@@FayeVert I have as well, but I can't help but think that there must be ones better suited to the climate and would be more native like. I don't know that the agave I've seen here have been that aggressive.
@@big3ye378 I have not seen a yucca as far north as I am anywhere to my knowledge. I think it's too wet up here for them. I live in the rainforest portion of PNW.
@@Malprincess They grow well in and around King County. I've had 3 or 4 volunteers on our property. Not sure about the peninsula though... keep me posted.

Do you work in HR? Trying to imagine how much of a weird bitter scold you have to be to even think like this. Just itching to complain about something. "Uhh, manager, these roses have thorns and somebody might get scratched! Ma'am, this pond contains water and people could drown! Sir, these plants have flowers that could attract stinging insects like bees!" Sad.
Concrete: my purpose is set, my resolve firm. The space I hold is a mark of human conquest
Agave weberii: lol, lmao
I thought I should be the reed and not the mighty oak, but being like the agave has its perks.
Joey encouraging botanical anarchism is the fucking BEST.
right on!
Wholesome chaos
I love your style. Brilliant with botany and brilliant with your lyricism. Thank you
Matter of fact, I do live in Tucson, have access to both plentiful pups and strip malls, and need more hobbies.
Do it! Do it! Hehe I live slightly to far north for agave.
Sounds like you'll be busy this summer
Plants teach us to destroy the things that destroy us LoL. Yeah....I learned something today.
We genuinely love a smart award botanist!! Thanks for the civil disobedience ideas!
Agave reconquista.
My Kind of Agave!!

another amazing video, keep rocking brother 👌
Helping the living world fight the human superorganism. I like it!
All power to the agave!

things are about to get stabby here in the south bay if you keep encouraging me like this
I can handle that kind of Chaos.
Those damn agaves grow like weeds and spread like them too.
🪴Pups! So beautiful and persistent 👍🏼

The message here is important
Spanish Dagger is a great space filler, fast growth and protects itself!
More guerilla planting, please.
"The urge to destroy is also a creative urge"
Love this guy! 👍
Will do. I have a local source of them in central Texas with more than enough to go around.
I like this.

I love this channel so much
I grow succulents of all types. Agaves are one of the fiercest plants topped only by the hated cholla cactus in my opinion.
😂😂😂hahaha
Have multiple agaves and sentry plants blooming
Gonna go plant them everywhere 🤘🏼🌵

Chaos is my middle name. Let's get atter.

What about a place like northwest Louisiana? Too much rain for agave and aloe.
I live in Tennessee. I wish i could do this but i dont know if they could tolerate the humidity 😕
No. Seriously, i love this guy!
Amen.
Yknow i was just thinking about using greenbrier in the same way here in the south east, think it'd work out just as well?
Do you think the small one would have flowered anyway or did it probably develop as a result of the big flower spike getting cut off?
Who would win:
crumbly cementy boi
juicy succy boi
manchineel trees (Hippomane mancinella) are endangered in Florida. >:]
Come to umpqua lighthouse state park in Oregon, you’d love it there
Tear out ice plants, plant agaves.
sir, what is the pacific inland NW equivalent? i live in eastern washington. no one goes over which plants are hell to kill and fuck up concrete
I am thinking a yucca plant would be the perfect substitute
keep goin sir, you gaht dis
Cheers to Agave Juice and the plant it comes from. :)
especially the roasted and fermented kind
And to think im just wreckin da streets with graffiti..
😛
Plus …. Tequila
da agave, a GOD GIVEN GEM. not Damned., you get me. Miss seen ur face.

Aloe is not native to North or South America. Better to stick with the native ecology.
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt okay, good point

Im having trouble distinguishing agave americana and weberi. Any tips?
Weberi don't have teeth along the margins of the leaf and are smooth
A friend wants to know if there is an equivalent plant that would love the pnw?
I've seen outdoor agave in the PNW.
@@FayeVert I have as well, but I can't help but think that there must be ones better suited to the climate and would be more native like. I don't know that the agave I've seen here have been that aggressive.
What about a yucca plant?
*yucca filamentosa

Does agave do well in FL?
Can you do a video on bitterroot?
You love that agave dontcha?
Slow but true, weaving a net for live.
Weber is German for weaver.
Love me spme gorilla gardening
If I live in a colder climate should I just randomly plant bamboo around?
No bamboo sucks lol. Stick to something native to the continent at least
In Europe that would be the Sempervivum. They look like tiny agave, require literally zero care and also produce lots of pups.
Oh man, don't be a dick to your kid when they are pointing out bunnies or ever really.
What the hell you talking about lol.
So many kids got gored by these things.
Gotta crack a few eggs to cook an omelette
Why is it a good idea to plant a needle sharp flesh ripping plant at shin level on a street where people walk their dogs and children? jfc wtf
So people like you end up getting poked in the shins.
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt
I don't live where those grow in the ground, maybe you should retitle this video how to be a malignant cunt.

I’m a firm believer in planting what you can eat . What spices are tequilas typically made from? 🥸
Agave tequilana is what you're looking for.
