it looks good. try gently to pull the spear. if it stays where it is, it's good then. if it pulls out, that means that it is rotten inside,but still there is a hope. put some fungicide inside with water,in the hole and it will recover. this is the test after every winter you need to make with palms ...

barb, there are still some morning lows like -2, -3 C, during the day 10 to 15C. and trachy is sensitive since inner leaves are out now,soft and white. soon as the morning temps reach 10 C it will be planted outdoor. it will recover very quickly. it grows about 10 leaves every year. but damage rewin...

very nice plants. you live in simillar zone as i. 7a to 6b. i had bad experience with y.rostrata,it died in 1st winter,even with protection. leaves dried out and trunk rotten. but it doesent mean that yours will. dry soil in winter keeps them alive. also i have agave parryi,but i take it out every w...

barb, this few seeds you showed, had too much water in soil. perlite is the best solution for germinating seeds.

damir

those small worms often comes in soil you buy in shop, mostly in not good quality soils. the best thing to do now, is you take the seeds out of the soil. put it in water with some insecticide for one day, if the seeds didnt germinate till now, and plant it again in "perlite". perlite is th...

Hi Damir, great news the Y. aloifolia are still alive. -25C would kill them. Where did you get the seed? I would assume the coldest nights were around when the Y. aloifolias were snow covered. Do your aloifolias have a serrated leaf edge (small teeth along the edge of the leaves)? This trait will c...

i am very glad to report that my 3 yucca aloifolia survived -25 C. till now there is no any damage. -25 C was lowest temp this winter, few weeks ago. it surprised me, cause it's said is not much hardy from experience of growers. plants were not protected,left outdoor first year, i wonered will maybe...

Great comparison shots, Barb! Damir, is your area being affected by the cold snap?
