"Parry’s Agave." My version is just a youngster- a “pup.” Pups can be just a few inches across. I knew these “century plants” grew big and are long-lived. I didn’t know that you can drink their juice, eat their core or use their fibers to make twine, rope or paper! It sounds like all you need if you’re trying to survive in the wild!
