Hello marcel, Your plants looks great, with a very nice compact growth. I can see on the photos, that many of your Yucca has the base of the plant above the surface. I have a suggestion for you, based on personal experience. I have noticed, that if a new Yucca is planted a little deeper, than one wo...

Hello Mario, Thanks for the climate info. Your winters are somewhat like those we have here in Northern Denmark, but the humididty is probably much lower, here it's usually around 80-95 % most of the year, except in very rare cold winters when the wind is blowing from North East or East, in such tim...

Hello Mario, Congratulation with your number 200 posting to this forum :-) Your garden and your large collection of palms and Yuccas are indeed very fine. It looks as you have a perfect climate for Yuccas & Co. I really like the dried out creek layout, I have something like your creek planned fo...

Hello Henoh, Thanks for sharing. If you have contact to the photograph of these photos, please give him my emailaddress. The large bloom in the lover right corner, definitely has some genes from Yucca elata, and the other bloom are not like anything I can remember to have seen before. Btw. did you h...

Hello Mario, Thanks for showing us your fine find at Zagreb botanical garden. Yes, this plant could be identical with the plant I grow as Yucca Karlsruhensis Type 2, but only if the plant in the photo is grown in shade, while it's missing the quite distinctive red bracts, otherwise it's very much id...

Janci,

Thanks for showing the photos of your Yuccas. It seems as you have a perfect climate for Yuccas and very green thumbs.

Have a nice day

Marceli,

Your plants looks great.

Yucca Elegantissima is one of my favorite Yuccas. This year one rosette will be in bloom, in maybe 2-3 weeks this is much earlier than usual (blooms normally in September-October) , so I might get lucky to pollinate it with another Yucca

Have a nice day

Hello Marcelli, To me, does the plants you have received not look as Yucca glauca, the leaves are way too wide, and they don't show any sign of fibers either, which they should at this size. How does the roots and rhizome look? The 3rd. photo is stolen from my website, it's Yucca 'Elena's Star' (a n...

Hello again, Here is a few photos of hybrids with genes from Yucca rupicola: Yucca "Karlsruhensis type 2" x rupicola (BMJ#2374A): http://s15.postimg.org/8t242quwn/2374_A_Yucca_Karlsruhensis_type_2_x_rupicola_Je.jpg Yucca 'Bright Edge' x rupicola (BMJ #2383A): http://s30.postimg.org/4ier56u...

Hello, As I wrote in Andy's topic "Three new Yuccas to my collection " did I make the hybrid: Yucca filamentosa ssp. concava albo-variegata (834) X rupicola, Kerr Co., Texas (388B) (BMJ 2011-030). But this is not the first hybrid I have made with Yucca rupicola I have mad a few others also...

Benny, Northern Denmark

Hello Andy, At the moment it's the only Yucca in which I have noticed a flowerbud. So I have to hope for donations of pollen from other Yucca growers world wide. The all time record in our garden is 62 flowerstalks in one summer :-) But this will not be happening this year or any of the nearest year...

Benny, Northern Denmark

Hello Andy, Congratulations with your new Yucca plants´, they are indeed three very nice specimens. The variegated plant is however not labeled correctly. This specimen is the very rarely seen Yucca filamentosa var. concava forma albo-variegata. I used to have one my self, but it died after it bloom...

Benny, Northern Denmark

Hello all, I have to let you know, that one of my most favorite Yuccas will bloom this year. It's a hybrid I made in 2008, Yucca angustissima ssp. kanabensis X (filamentosa x arkansana) BMJ #2086A. Here is a photo of this specimen looked yesterday: http://s17.postimg.org/wuqyrebp7/2086_A_Yucca_angus...

Hello Yucca people, I'm sorry for the absence in forum, our Medion Computer keeps crashing, and It did take some time to dig our old computer out from storage. But now we are connected to the "world" again, while solving the problems with the Medion PC. :-). I don't think, that I have lost...

Benny, Northern Denmark

Andy, Yucca pallida is actually just form of Yucca rupicola with "blue" leaves, and if you look at the two in bloom, you will see, that the flowers are identical. I still use both names in order to know if it's a green or a blue Yucca rupicola. Adam, I don't think, that you had done anythi...

Benny, Northern Denmark

Hello Henoh,

Great looking Yuccas you grow in your garden.

The two Yucca rupicola looks very much like Yucca reverchonii, they could of course be an intermediate form of the two.

Best wishes

Benny

Benny, Northern Denmark

Hello Andy, Do you have some photos of the flowers? Is the leaves serrated? If they are serrated it could be a Yucca reverschonii or just a narrow leafed form of Yucca rupicola. When Yucca pallida, rupicola and reverschonii have been blooming the rosettes die, and new rosette/rosettes emerge from th...

Benny, Northern Denmark

Hello,

If your Yucca is one of Rusanov's hybrids it could be Yucca flaccida x pallida. Is the leaves serrated?

But no matter what it is, it's a very nice Yucca with a beautiful leaf color.

Best wishes

Benny

Hello "ELBurro", Thanks for showing us the super nice photos of Yucca glauca ssp. albertana in habitat. How early do they bloom in habitat? In the article; Hurlburt, Donna, Status of Soapweed (Yucca glauca) in Alberta. Alberta Wildlife Status Report No. 35 (2001). (PDF here: http://srd.alb...

Hello again, Here is another of my favorites: Yucca "Karlsruhensis type 2" x elata, a hybrid I made in 2004. Here is the biggest clone in our garden at the moment: http://postimg.org/image/jhp0cv6r9/ in 2011 I had another clone which flowered: http://www.bennyskaktus.dk/images/Yucca/jensen...

Mario and TIM.

Great plant with a cool blue color, and lots of sprouts to propagate from.

I better check out my seedlings also

Maybe I am lucky too?

Have a nice day

Hello again, Here is another favorite Yucca: Yucca 'Elena's Star': Here as 4 years old: http://www.bennyskaktus.dk/images/Yucca/jensen-hybrids/1844_Yucca_Jensen_hybrid_glauca_x_1402_2008-07-25_0011.jpg Here as 6 years old: http://www.bennyskaktus.dk/images/Yucca/jensen-hybrids/1844/1844_Yucca_Jensen...

Tim, Thanks for the great weather/climate site. Yes it does seem, as we have a very much equal climate as Nova Scotia. Unfortunately is there no weather date from near out garden. We live an garden in the northern part of Denmark and our climate is very much influenced by the mountains in Norway! Th...

Benny, Northern Denmark

Hello,

I have some of this one too, but in our climate they are not at all as "blue" as yours, but more like a shiny green. I have not dared to plant any out into the garden yet

Have a nice day

Janci,

Great garden, welcome and thanks for showing us the photos.

Hello Tim, It is always so nice to see, how the hybrids I have created, will grow in your perfect yucca-climate. The seeds from the motherplant to this hybrid has not germinated well, so it makes me even more happy to see, that you have one which grow very well and looks great the same time. The par...

Benny, Northern Denmark

Indeed some very nice Yuccas shown in this thread. Yucca De Smetiana, Baker is as I understand it a a sport or clone of Yucca aloifolia which continues to grow juvenile leaves, and because this form never grow mature growth it can not bloom either. Those of you whom had tried growing Yucca aloifolia...

Mario, Janci, Andy and Barb,

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Tim, Oh-No, Nova Scotia is a tropical isle :-) More like France or southern Germany, I would guess. Halifax, Nova Scotia is at latitude 44.38 and we live at 57°25'0.35"N 9°59'27.00"Ø. 1. latitude is 111 km, so we are 1425 km further north. I have a friend just north of Stockholm, Sweden, h...

Benny, Northern Denmark

Hello Adam, Thanks for showing us your fast growing Yucca hybrid. I have also observed, that man-made garden hybrids are much faster growers than plants grown from wild collected seeds. Do you have any more information about Jim's hybrid with Yucca constricta? I have a webpage with all those crosses...

Benny, Northern Denmark

Igor, I haven't had much luck with Yucca rigida. I have tried some in the unheated greenhouse, but none of them has survived for long. The same goes for Yucca rostrata (BIG plant), thompsoniana and linearifolia. At the moment I have one small 2-3 year old seedling of a Yucca thompsoniana which is st...

Benny, Northern Denmark

Hello Tim, Thanks for showing some of your favorite Yuccas. Yes, many Yuccas look their best right now. But soon the "fungi-season" starts, and the weak ones which need to be removed, will be easy to point out. The hybrids with the Yucca angustissima ssp. kanabensis is behaving very variab...

Benny, Northern Denmark

I have three "suspects" for incidental pollination of Yuccas in Europe. Bumblebee's frequently visit the Yucca flowers and Hoverflies (family Syrphidae) also visit to eat pollen. Also Ants can be visiting the inflorescence if there are a greenfly atack on the flowers. But my prime "su...

Benny, Northern Denmark

I forgot, The reason why we get so much snow in our garden, is that we have farmers fields on 3 sides of our garden. So if it snows with just a little wind from either W, NW, N, NE, E or SE, the snow from maybe 25 to 35 hectares will end in our garden. In the snow-rich winter of 2009-10 the minimum ...

Benny, Northern Denmark

Hello Igor, The winter of 2012-13 was not very cold, "only" very long and very dry. I think, that the coldest were -16C and most of the time only -2 to -5 to -9C, also during the daytime (at December 21st. the "daylenght" just over 6 hours and the sun is very low in the horizon, ...

Benny, Northern Denmark

Adam, Your plants looks great. But I have no idea what the first Yucca is, it's NOT aliofolia. Is the leaves serrated or not? I have an advice for you. Plant your young yuccas deeper, when you plant them, this seems to make the plants grow faster, when they are planted too high they grow slower, and...

Benny, Northern Denmark

You are absolutely right. The 4 last winters has been quite hard on out plants. The four winters were very different from each other, so those plants which did survive the snow pressure and the long snow cover in the winter of 2009-10, were killed by one of the following winters: 2010-11 1 meter of ...

Benny, Northern Denmark

Hello, It's easy to understand why this in one of your favorites. How long are the leaves 3½ - 4 feet? I had a similar plant, which unfortunately died in the winter of 2009-10, 4 month under snow was too much for it. Thanks for sharing. Benny P.S. I think, that I still have a one "Plantasia Opu...

Benny, Northern Denmark

Tim, it's an outstanding inflorescence this Yucca have. It must be the only Yucca bloom which can make you Yucca constricta x filamentosa flowers look smaller in size. Here is a photo of one of my "Behan hybrid" Yucca flaccida "Tennessee Mountains" x (reverschonii x thompsoniana)...

Benny, Northern Denmark

Another favorite of mine is this Hungarian hybrid: Yucca glauca ssp. stricta x baccata, made by Demeter Janakidisz, Hungary. http://s22.postimg.org/jlsnkgrzh/2242_Yucca_Janakidisz_hybrid_glauca_ssp_strict.jpg I find this one is much more beautiful than the 3x hybrid: Yucca (aloifolia x stricta made ...
