Calling all nolina fans!

[Paul S]

Assuming there are any, that is.

We (that's myself and another fellow) are having a small discussion on another forum about Nolina beldingii. We both have plants that came labelled as such but are unsure as to whether what we have is actually beldingii. Our plants are arborescent (well, mine will be eventually), thin green, micro-saw edged leaves with a dead Q tip to the leaf. I thought this might be the giveaway but the leaves on both our plants are rather lax, not held stiffly as per pictures I have seen. Maybe this is more nurture than nature - a product of our climate rather than the plant.

Googling for images is a waste of time as you end up with pics of different nolinas all labelled beldingii.

Does anyone have pictures in their library they could post of a 'known' Nolina beldingii?

Thanks in advance.

young nolinas can be difficult to i.d. sometimes. You were right to think that your conditions could cause the plant to behave differently, so who knows. Post some pics!
