We have one that looks like that, but it's only purple all over in the winter
time. As soon as it got warm last year, it turned mostly green with some
purple on the edges. Is it the same species? We got it at Barton springs
nursery (which has a great selection of agaves and other dessert lilies).

possibly the best winter color we can plant. Possumhaws are
conspicuous along central Texas highways in winter, with ash white
trunks and branches covered in red berries. http://tinyurl.com/5d62.


We have those too, but we didn't get a lot of berries this year because last
year's late 17 degrees frost in March killed all the blooms
