Nice yuccas, Edmar! Hi Barb! thanks! I'm lucky to get enough snow to protect my filamentosa, snow is a free insulator your plastic roof...maybe a broomhandle stuck in the middle like a tent pole would make snow slide off.

Hi Edmar, I have an Opuntia since 10 years now, and he made it every winter with no problem and no protection, as well for the Yucca filimentosa.

Hey Edwin, looks great! Have you thought of protection methods yet? I'm in a slightly higher zone here for my palms, but Beny has great techniques for your zone for sure. He's a great resource.
