Agave 'Thorny Warrior' – The hybrid agave seedling should reach to around 3 feet tall by as wide with foot long arching gray-green leaves that have large teeth along the margins connecting the large teeth and narrowing toward the tip with a long red-brown terminal spine. Some also have a fairly strong broad green midstripe. This is a hybrid between the Saw Leaf Agave, Agave xylonacantha and the Gypsum Century Plant, Agave pablocarrilloi (previously called A. gypsophila) that was created by Tony Krock. For information about the parent species, see our listing for Agave xylonacantha and Agave gypsophila
