Hi Igor,

I can't see the photo you posted. A three headed bloom sounds great!

TimMAz6

Andy,

Not all Yuucas will have as much liquid at the end of the pistol. Sometimes there's just a little inside the pistol and some have none. You'll still get seed pods if you pollenate many flowers👍

Did you get any seed pods?

TimMAz6

Loads of Rhodos Paul! I hope the SH x macabeanum is Hardy for you. Please let us know how they fair this winter. I have a few hybrids outside too most with Rex or macabeanum genes in them. Only time will tell Here's a species out for testing, R arboreum v cinnamon http://i30.photobucket.com/albums ...

TimMAz6

Great update Paul!!

Are you finding the F2 filata's Hardy? How about the Y. thomp x big mama?

I'm curious how those Hardy Engelmaniis will fair when larger. It's nice to see them alive!

Great garden. Keep the updates coming

PS how are the Rhodos's?

TimMAz6

Yuccas don't die after blooming except for Yucca whippeli but technically that's not a Yucca anymore

TimMAz6

Your garden looks great!

TimMAz6

I'm not sure, can you see the 'liquid' at the end of the pistol? These are the flowers ready to be pollenated.

TimMAz6

Update. Close to pollenation time!

TimMAz6

It's not a 'true' filamentosa but the habit, leaves and flowers are pointing that way. Seed could have been produced on a Y glauca but pollenated by a Y filamentosa; therefore, we are seeing mostly filamentosa genes.

TimMAz6

It's a form of Y filamentosa. What type of seed were you told it was?

Try to pollenate the flowers so seed pods will develop.

TimMAz6

Marceli

A single yucca can produce pods. Try to pollenate the flowers!

TimMAz6

Hi Aaron Every pistol is different between species. I find glauca, stricta and Arkansana strange since there is no hole at the end of the pistol and you need to open the 'flaps' to get the pollen in. East coast yuccas are easy Some nights seem to produce better pollen than other nights. Not sure why ...

TimMAz6

Hi Igor Most Yuccas can self pollenate. That means seed pods can form on a yucca with no other Yuccas You can pollenate with any other Yucca. The pollen donor 'generally' passes the leaf traits. Some crosses are more prominent than others. Example: the pollen from filamentosa was used to pollenate ...

TimMAz6

Cool bloom Aaron! It's like a glauca bloom with a little filamentosa in it.

It's a Y filata? Fila x elata. Nice

TimMAz6

very cool! Perhaps a 'tube' is needed over it from Nov 20 through Feb?

Protection with a wire cage & poly wrap.......very easy.

TimMAz6

Hi Igor, did you attempt to pollinate the flowers? I didn't see any seed pods. I usually pollinate at sunset or sunrise. Pollen forms best at these times (also during night but it's dark!). Gently scrap pollen off the anthers. Store pollen on your hand (see photo). Place pollen in the pistol 'tube ...

TimMAz6

lets see some photos of your blooming Y. elata Aaron!

TimMAz6

Yucca elata is finally blooming. I started it in year 2000 as a seed😎 http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/timmaz6/2015%20Plants/15E3BD28-89A7-423B-8965-D75FD31F7F12_zpssafrli1q.jpg Yucca fila x rostrata is a beauty (seed grown from Benny Jensen seed) http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309 ...

TimMAz6

Looks great!

TimMAz6

Marceli,

Please post a photo of the 'inside' of the flower so we can see the pistol. Thx

Your Yucca looks great!

TimMAz6

nice bloom forming Igor!

TimMAz6

Hi Paul

great update! That last BVT Rhodo is a beauty!

TimMAz6

Hi Mike

can you take a couple close up photos of the wide leaf seedlings? This will help with ID.

Tim

Yucca elata taking a beating but doing well: http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/timmaz6/2015%20Plants/DCAM0277_zpstfqglwm8.jpg Monkey Puzzle tree protection: http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/timmaz6/2015%20Plants/DCAM0278_zpsnpxcyvcd.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/timmaz6/2015 ...

Hi Barb

nice to hear from you. All OK here. Let's get some spring heat!!!

TimMAz6

Yucca elata getting beat up but is 100% fine. Look close, the Y. elata is to the right of the 'tube' in the center of the photo. The elata top of leaves is approaching 8' tall now. NO PROTECTION. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/timmaz6/2014%20plants/3331738F-308E-4845-B747-70AAF76C7CAC ...

TimMAz6

Nice update!

Big Mama seedlings should be hardy to at least -20C.......likely even hardier to -25C. Excess winter moisture is the biggest problem.

TimMAz6

I have not had good success cutting the roots. I would bury the entire root.

TimMAz6

Nice Yuccas! Rostratas are surprisingly hardy. I was surprised they survived last winter 'from hell'. My yard hit -6.5F (-21.4C).....and we get tons of winter precipitation which is a Yucca killer. This winter I babied my 2 Y. rostratas in 'tubes'. They are the two tubes in the center of the photo ...

TimMAz6

nice job with the seeds. the seeds with the exposed roots are not growing into the soil. The root continues to grow but the root tip is not growing into the soil. Bury the root into the soil now and it should be fine.

TimMAz6

Aaron,

those Y. brev's are beauts! I wish they would like my wet climate!!

TimMAz6

Those yuccas are still small.......it's hard to ID them at this stage.

TimMAz6

those are some beauties!!

TimMAz6

they are getting larger! Looks good.

TimMAz6

nice garden.......let us know how they fair after your cold winters!!

TimMAz6

Hi Jim Big Mama is an unusually large form of Yucca 'filamentosa x elata'. The leaves are just over 3 feet in length and much wider than the normal 'filamentosa x elata' hybrid. The other Yucca from Kory is Yucca thompsoniana x (filamentosa x elata 'Big Mama'). Kory had the Y. thompsoniana and I ...

TimMAz6

great update...............that Rhododendron maximum x calophytum is a beauty! I'm glad it took that cold winter with no issues.

TimMAz6

nice bloom Aaron!!

TimMAz6

she's getting big now.

TimMAz6

too bad it's dead......she was a beauty.
