That's fascinating, great video. where I currently am working abroad there are these growing all over the place, so now I know more about them. Thanks for showing us.

Are they really poisonous? Can't I use them for some health treatment? I got a lot of agave marginata plants and I want to use them for health reasons but I'm not sure if I can. I would be delighted if you can make a video on how to eat them or use them for the digestion system, if possible. 😊

Hi Milla -- Even if I wanted to, the liability issues are daunting. I'm not an MD, RN, PhD or even an herbalist. Can you imagine?!

@@QueenofSucculents okay thanks for your answer.

[@orangemoonglows2692]

this is nothing. there's a nursery in pasadena where there's an agave that has to be more than 10 feet tall and wide. no joke.

Is this how tequila is made? Well, the beginning.....how tequila was discovered? Lol

Not exactly! Turning agaves into alcohol is a fascinating process. I'd hope to see it in person and share it with you.
