Been awhile since I posted any pics. Here's a few updated pics
of some of my yuccas. :)

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Jay, fabulous yuccas! Is there elata among them? And no winter protection?

Thanks Igor, I have no elatas yet. I don't protect the big ones. Only the little ones get covered when
we get our cold snap every winter. :)

That's my mystery yucca. :) I bought it 7 years ago and I believe it just said yucca on the label.
It's starting to trunk. I always thought it was just some form of glauca.

Nice collection! I'd also I.D. that Yucca as glauca.

Is that recurvfolia in pic #2?

Jay, love your Y.rostratas.

Can you find a quick photo of your winter cover? No heat?
Mine are on the south side of house too.

Wonder if I could stop heating mine this winter.... :| risky.

Thanks Barb,

I don't really cover or heat anything for the winter. I usually
just use an umbrella cover for the little ones for the first winter or two.

I'm too lazy to cover and heat my plants. :)

Well, since you're only 35 miles south of me, maybe I should try that with one of the three y.rostrata.

And you could attend the funeral in April :lol: :lol:

How would you choose? Just pic the middle child and throw him out in the cold, or maybe the runt? He don't do much anyways. :lol:

:roll: You're speaking to a mother :lol: :lol:
Thanks for making it tougher.

The runt already died...it was the 2-headed y.rostrata.

OK, you decide: :wink: :argue:

As long as there's beer at the funeral when we mourn the death
of the rostratas. :)

I'm kidding. I would think they would be fine but just in case only test
one out this winter. :)

You guys are so funny.....

Bill and I were having a similar discussion-but this was
inspired by the massive size of his palms...which one do
you start/experiment with...when scaling down protection?
