Bought a 1 gallon from my local Lowes here in Victorville, CA. I lost the tag &  It grows reasonably fast. I've separated several pups & now have several other 1 gallons of these now. They have been in pots outside all winter with an ultimate low of 20.4f & TONS of nights below 32f, 6 inches of snow & hard freezes & looks really good still! 

Any thoughts of the ID?

Lowest temp. I can expect each year 19/20*f lowest since I've been growing palms *13(2007) Hottest temp. Each year *106

It looks similar to some no id's or lost id's I have.  Different enough that what I'm growing that it is probably not the same species but I wanted to add the comment because it does appear to be something that will remain small but do a lot of clumping.  Nathan's suggestion on Aloe brevifolia sure looks like a viable and probable id.

I'd be thrilled if it's a brevifolia. It definitely resembles them. I'll post pictures when it flowers if that can helps with the Identification?

Thanks you guys!

Holy moly! I didn't realize it spread like that, lol.. I'll have to maintain it to a smaller area since my planter is about 60 sq.ft.  It's a 9ft. diameter circle, so I really need to focus on dwarf aloes, agaves & other succulents. 

I have one of those Aloe juvenna's too! I killed two others in there pot for whatever reason. They were pretty neglected so might have been lack of water? 

I just found that site (Agaveville) this morning. Really cool site. I've been researching all morning 😂

@Jubaea_James760yeah, Agaveville is a great source of info on all things agave, aloe, etc.  And they have a photo gallery for palms, cycads, agaves, and a lot more.  Lots of great info over there!
