Angelo,

I have not seen the seeds yet, as they are at my girlfriend place (470 km away!), but when I see the seeds next weekend, I probably can tell if they are Yucca nana seeds or not!

The seeds of Yucca nana is black, flat, has a rugged surface that's a little hemispherical, they can be variable in shape and are from 0,4 to 0,9 cm long and wide. On my cultivation-page you can see how the seeds look; http://64.177.111.31/Y_grow_UK.htm#propagat. The seeds should not be thin and papery, but rather "thick" about 0,7 to 1 mm, they lack the papery "wings" of most of the dehiscent Yuccas. They look a lot like seeds of Yucca harrimaniae.

Kind Regards
