We are able to grow some Agave here but this one is a no go, far too tender, but a most attractive one.

This is just the beginning. Many of the tropical and subtropical flowering trees bloom this time of year.

Does that part of the plant die off after flowering?

It grows like a weed here. This is one of the few species which has a trunk and it can branch out after it blooms.

Yes, the flower and top will die; however, it'll put out several branches on the side of the trunk. It can become bushy and very large.

Yes, it's so true no thorny edges.
We drive on the "right" side of the road! lol! :>)
