This cultivar is a strongly contrasted white-centered type that emerged from Agave titanota, and interestingly, its variegation is the reverse of A. titanota 'Snaggle Tooth' . Because of its pronounced teeth, it was named 'Saber-toothed Tiger'—which is 'サーベルタイガー' in Japanese. There’s a feeling that the name pronounced directly in English, 'Saber-tooth,' could end up being widely used too. It also closely resembles A. titanota 'No.1 Mediopicta Alba' , so I'm curious to see what differences will show as they mature.
