Agave americana
Tall shrub with brush-like blooms.
Laguna Beach
You are welcome. I have one in my yard that I am waiting to see bloom someday.
What you described as a tree is the bloom. The leaves of the plant are at the base and usually begin to die after the bloom emerges. There will be new plants, 'pups', that emerge around this mother plant.
