Both of them are awesome, hoping they will be with you for years to come. Maybe with time they can get air movement around the crowns. I need to get a few and try them down in AZ, if I ever get down there again.

I agree, that and building a mound for your yuccas helps. Drainage, drainage, drainage, and location, location, location. Everyone wants a house on the hill, so do desert plants. lol

Thanks, they took many years to look like that, I'm sure in time they will clump huge. If they don't, could be the soil or like you said the precipitation.

Love seeing the updates on your yuccas but I remember from an old post that you had 4 baccatas with awesome trunks but on this update I could only see 1 baccata with a trunk , is it the only one remaining from that group?? Thanks for sharing your pictures, always appreciated :) You are right, there...

Tim,
I grew some Y. austrailis, but when the seedling got bigger, I got them mixed up with my faxons. That faxon I had that died, my have been a Y. austrailis.

Nice Y. filifera.

Aaron.... they both look good and looks like three heads forming on the blue Yucca. I am not used to seeing Rostrata flowering so young, probably a climate thing?

Tim great pic of that Y. elata bloom. I have a question for you and Aaron. I have a Y. rigida that bloomed about 6 years ago in a pot. I kept it alive after and didn`t get any new growth until this spring. Do certain Yuccas die after blooming? Will your Y. elata be good to go after this bloom? Than...
