Agave angustifolia is an evergreen, stemless or short-stemmed (to 60cm), succulent plant forming a rosette of leaves that can be 100 – 200cm tall and 150 – 200cm in diameter. Around 40 – 70 leaves are produced on mature plants, each of which can be 60 – 100cm long and 4 – 10 cm wide near the base. After several years of growth, a flowering stem that can be around 2.5 – 5 metres tall is produced, after which the rosette will die. However, the plant usually produces a number of young plants around its base that will develop as new plants. This is one of the main species in the genus for making the drink ‘mezcal’, a distilled alcoholic beverage that is very popular in Mexico and is also exported. The other uses of the plant are many and varied, including supplying food, fibre for ropes, construction material, fuel, beverages, traditional medicines and diverse utensils for local people. The plant is often cultivated or managed in the wild for making mezcal, and is also grown as an ornamental. Agave angustifolia has a wide range, it is abundant and even though there are threats in parts of its range, it occurs in many protected areas and its overall population is stable. The plant is classified as ‘Least Concern’
