I'm surprised we haven't had any snow, yet. Not that I miss it!

Y. filamentosa x elata 'Big Mama':

marceli

Barb, am I getting this right? You wanna protect Trachy with forecasted -5C? Chill out and wait for real cold

marceli

Igor, can you recommend them? I see there are plenty of yucca species!

marceli

I don't know if there were no nana seeds in mesa garden last year or what

I need reliable source.

marceli

Looking awesome! This is the species I'm looking for but no luck here so far. Bought two pcs., but it turned out to be some gloriosa hybrids, despite what seller said.

marceli

Nights are getting real cold. Tonight it went down to 36F/2C. My yuccas are covered from now on:

marceli

It looks better now!

Weather has been kind to us this summer, which made my yuccas (and me) very happy :D http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss152/palmiarnia/IMG_4211BIG_zps9efd0dc8.jpg http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss152/palmiarnia/IMG_4209_zps43f1c3d7.jpg My mystery yucca ;) And last but not least young Y. filata...

Be careful with the Triglochs if you get a really raining spring/summer.

They are usually rainy here

I'm not going to water these cacti at all.
Could you post pictures of yours? Can't imagine how they might have cracked

They can't stop growing...

marceli

Mesa garden sells them - location: Meadview, AZ, but according to them these are not fully hardy

marceli

EDIT; sabals like to be near water, some even in swamps as Erik has proven. They can handle all the water you give them. I wouldn't let a Sabal dry out. Mine stopped growing when I neglected them...basically stalled for a couple of years. Barb, that's why I wrapped it, so it's constantly moist, but...

marceli

Hummingbirds... I can only dream of them in this part of the world

marceli

Where did you get the seeds from? Looking at your plants, the source must be worth recommending.

marceli

So, the size does matter

marceli

That would be cool too see one growing in your area. :D Aaron, I'm gonna raise it from the seed, I guess, because they're sooo expensive here, plus don't wanna buy the ones kept inside greenhouse all year long. They have no chance surviving here. May I repeat myself? They look gorgeous at your plac...

Mine germinated in May, so has a long way to travel

marceli

Mine small seedling has black stretch wrap on the soil surface, so it's almost constantly moist and it's growing happily and quite fast for a sabal, or maybe McCurtain is faster grower than regular sabal?

marceli

I might give it a try, but I need a roof all year long, I guess. Too high percipitation here.

marceli

Amazing, indeed

marceli

marceli, your unknown yucca seems to have doubled since last year. Nice. Barb, check it out now! :D http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss152/palmiarnia/IMG_4096_zps944a0e99.jpg Could it be Y. glauca var. stricta or leaves are too thick? I'm still wondering what it may be 8) And the rest of my yucca...

marceli

Nice progress there! Your yard looks like photoshopped

If I get some, you will get some.

Can't wait now - is totally your fault

You think they are hardy enough for my place? Always thought they are not, so never bought any elata seeds.

marceli

+1 for seeds

marceli

It is var. inermis, I presume?

marceli

What can I say? This is a dream garden for me

marceli

Wow! What a great collection of plants!

How is H. parviflora doing? I'm planning on purchasing one, but dunno if it's not too much rain here.

marceli

Noted. Thanks

Average percipitation: http://www.worldweatheronline.com/Plock ... es/PL.aspx
Looks like we get tons of rain comparing to you, Paul

marceli

I could use all those rocks and stones you got! Looking like real rocky desert. I love it

I'm not in a hurry

Do you ever water them in the ground?

marceli

Just as I suspected! Thx, Aaron

marceli

I purchased 2 small P. simpsonii. I heard that they're hard to grow. Does anybody have them? Any tips or advices?

Thanks![/img]

marceli

Guys, is it safe to put so small yuccas outdoor or should I keep'em in shade first? They grow too slow in containers.

marceli

Looks like my gloriosa/recurvifolia complex. They're very hardy here.

marceli

Thanks, Tim! I must rename the tag then :) We've had the worst spring ever with tons of rain and there's one yucca which especially doesn't like it: Y. baccata: http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss152/palmiarnia/mn2qzhai_zpsce07147d.jpg The other species seem to like it, tho and grow pretty fast: h...

I was thinking I finally found true Y. glauca seeds, but I was wrong I guess. When my plant was small the leaves were narrow but now see for yourselves: http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss152/palmiarnia/5dn2uqxq_zps903802ee.jpg I have glauca grown from seeds from mesa garden and it looks totally d...

marceli

They look amazing!

Do they attract butterflies or hummingbirds maybe?

marceli

Barb, the trunk for sure, but still has the same rather small crown. I guess this species grows this way.
