great plants Jim!!

I got to say..........your Trichocereus is a beauty.

TimMAz6

Hi Jim

Your Y. gloriosa is looking great. It may bloom this fall??

TimMAz6

I drool every time you post a photo of your Trichocereus!

TimMAz6

Hi Jim

any chance the Sequoiadendron branches are alive? That 'was' a beauty!!

TimMAz6

Hi Andy great Yuccas! Your Y. decipiens is a beauty. I've seen 'real' specimens in Arizona and I could not tell the difference from Y. filifera. There are a couple different forms of Y. filifera, some less hardy than others. I moisture protected a filifera back in the winter of 2002 and it saw +6F i...

TimMAz6

cool Yuccas.......the first photo is Y. rostrata......the others are mostly Y. aloifolia and the last two are Y. gloriosa/recurvifolia forms.

TimMAz6

If I had to guess

40ct Aloifolia = Yucca aloifolia
25ct "Soaptree" = Yucca elata
100ct "Soapweed" = Yucca glauca
30ct "Spanish Dagger" Yucca treculeana.....but could be others too suck Y. faxoniana, Y. torreyi, Y. schidigera, Y. aloifolia, Y. carnerosana, etc....

Hi Andy

I have no clue why your BLE's got burnt.....likely climate issues like you mention. PS, that S. rhodo is a beauty! I wish someone in the states would sell that one.

TimMAz6

Hi Barb

your trachy made it another winter!

I bet it grows a foot this season.....how cool is that. Tell hubby to place a light on the winter enclosure so the planes don't hit it!

TimMAz6

keep us updated on that Trachy......I hope it survives.

TimMAz6

great shots Jim

TimMAz6

the Yucca flaccidaxreverchonii-thompsoniana looks great.....it should grow nicely for you this season!

TimMAz6

Hi Andy

no idea on your palm issue...........but perhaps something other than heat got to your Daphniphylum? Members on the Hardy Palm board grow Daphniphylum in Atlanta, GA! Now that's hot!

TimMAz6

I recall my Y. elatas getting burn when young......some even dying. I 'weeded' out the weak ones. My last remaining Y. elata has over 3' of trunk and leaf tips to 7 feet. I don't think it has any burn after this winter and our low was -6.5F. Y. elata is the hardiest SW trunker in my area. here's an ...

Hi Paul

2 acres is a dream! I have a TON of Rhodo hybrids germing now too. I'll have to create a list of them. Some are just way too cool to imagine like R. 'Hardy Giant' x macabeanum. I hope some turn into beauties. Which ones are you trying?

TimMAz6

Hi Jesse

Thanks for the bamboo tip. I'll repot them up into larger containers. I hope that will do the trick.

TimMAz6

Hi Barb

Yup.......got more garden space this spring........that is AFTER I rip out all the dead plants! Winters like this one is why I started growing Yuccas.

TimMAz6

Your plants look pretty good Aaron. The JTrees look mint. All we need now is some heat.

TimMAz6

I agree......watering plants this time of year is aweful. My garden is probably 38F and plants still dry out every 3 weeks....we need some heat to get them outside again.

TimMAz6

what's everyone germing? I got a few things started.... Podophyllums <a href="http://s30.photobucket.com/user/timmaz6/media/2013%20Plants/A1A0CFDA-C1BD-4943-B00E-6E7080387DFA_zps6cvzsgu3.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/timmaz6/2013%...

TimMAz6

Hi Barb I hope your Washy's bounce back.......all they need now is some heat and sun. 8) My Washy looks good too. Took this photo today. I'm sure it will take off real soon.:lol: <img src=http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/timmaz6/2013%20Plants/2665C24D-1FAE-4C27-B9DE-DDCBBF730991_zpsy0yqzmtp.jp...

TimMAz6

how large are those kiwi fruits?

TimMAz6

nice collection Cameron!

TimMAz6

Hi Marceli

the second neomexicana looks much more like a neomexicana......that first seedlings sure had wide, thick looking leaves. Your big mama's look great.

Hi Barb

you big mamas look great too. Get them into the ground in spring......the more sun the better.

TimMAz6

Barb......your Wollemi is getting large now! Hopefully you'll get yours to grow a few cones. How cool would that be! Mine is getting smaller with age.......I had to trunk cut off all the cold damage and now it's in my office.:cry: <img src=http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/timmaz6/2013%20Plants...

TimMAz6

it sounds like a good plan Paul. I did the same thing when I moved from Rhode Island to Massachusetts. I removed the grass turf and it's roots. Purchased a 50/50 mix of sand/peastone and placed it on the bare soil. I then covered the 50/50 mix with 100% peastone so rain will not erode the sand. It's...

TimMAz6

welcome to the board! It appears the snow loads bent the Yuccas over............too far over in my opinion to prop them up again. I think new off shoots will grow where the trunk is bent and around the base if you stake it up again. If you really want to save it, prop it up with a stake and see what...

TimMAz6

Hi Cameron

thanks for the update. I'm glad you planted 2 Monkey Puzzle trees. I hope they get through this cold winter. Mine has some bronzing leaves but should be OK.

Do you have any positive surprises after the past two cold winters??

TimMAz6

do you have another photo of your Y. neomexicana seedling? The photo you posted almost looks more baccata-ish or could be another baccatae-type Yucca.

TimMAz6

Nice list Jesse.........I have a ton of seeds going now too. Mostly big leaf Rhodos but also some Magnolias, Yuccas, Aloe and a Moso bamboo.

TimMAz6

Hi Aaron

I had 3 bloom so far and all 3 had different traits in the bloom. It will be interesting to see your bloom so we can compare.

TimMAz6

I'm sure that Yucca arm will end up in someone's garden!

TimMAz6

every time it snowed the branch lowered by a few inches.......now it's on the ground.

TimMAz6

Hi Igor

yes my MP tree needs some winter sun/wind protection on the coldest nights. It does have some browning. -6.5F (-21.4C) is pushing their limits.

TimMAz6

Hi Paul the lights are on the same circuit as my fish pond heater........I had that plugged in for 4 to 5 weeks at least. A fellow up in Hopkinton, MA (was zone 5b, now 6a) lost a R. rex last fall.....likely from summer heat stress....it was 5 feet tall. It appears summer heat is more of an issue in...

TimMAz6

I agree with you......wind protection will help the Eucs a lot. Eucs seem to show damage late too. I recall some Eucs growing from upper branches only to die in a couple weeks to regrow much lower on thicker branches. I hope this 'hardy' snow gum doesn't loose much branches.

TimMAz6

Hi Barb

the main stem is still hard.....I hope it's fine??

TimMAz6

T. nainital not doing well........leaves are fried even though it's in a protection 'tube'.

TimMAz6

the Illiciums look fine after this cold winter

<img src=http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/ ... qmfqnv.jpg>

TimMAz6

a little more brown but I 'think' it's still alive.
