The UC Botancal Garden in Berkeley has a large collection of Puya species,
alll growing outside for several decades. They bloom regularly. The most
unusual and largest is Puya raimondii from Peru/Bolivia. Said to bloom only
after 75-100 yrs in nature, several years ago, we had a bloom in a 26 yr
old (planted as seed in the Garden). Many Puya come from mountainous areas.
The P. raimondii typically occurs from 10-14,000 ft in the Andes and might
well live n Mass.
