BANANA YUCCA

SPECIES : Yucca baccata


REPRODUCTION
The banana yucca is pollinated solely by the female yucca moth (Tegeticula yuccasella). After pollinating a banana yucca flower, the yucca moth flies to a different flower and deposits her eggs in the new flower's ovary. Most flowers are pollinated, and pollination typically results in production of a large number of banana yucca seeds. The seeds and fruit are consumed by yucca moth larvae.
