John, I bet we're 200 feet higher in elevation than you.
Plus 35 miles North too.
Wanna trade?

It snowed until nearly noon, the place was white, all melted by 1 pm.

The air--around me anyway--was blue :twisted:

Aaron, it looks great and gives me hope for rostratas in my climate zone, but I need to protect them, 'cus we have lots of precipitation, unlike you I guess. But the seeds got to be from some very cold area to make this work in my area 8)

Have you ever heard of a brevifolia cross? I thought I did once, but then later heard it could not be done? :|
Aaron.... it seems a cross has been produced with Yucca Baccata. Was sold by a European Nursery but is now out of stock.

Nice young Rostratas there Aaron... hope they stay alive for you :D
Henoh's rostrata looks really blue with wide leaves on that lovely rockery
My own favourite in my garden is the "Valle Cillo" Rostrata that has a thin trunk similar to Linearifolia but with large strap leaves.
It was in a poor state when I received it with virtually no roots and had recently flowered
Back in March
Image

Image
End of september
Image

Image
I have been amazed by the growth of the plant and those leaves are currently 28" long at their best.
Oh and heres a disaster story
Image
Bad planting by me left an air lock in the foot of this green Rostrata hence no roots. It also took a battering from the very wet Winter followed by that long cold spell. Now back in a pot , I'm hoping it will root next year :roll:

Andy, That rostrata with the long -blue leaves is very cool. 8) I have never seen one like that before.

Sorry to hear about the green form, hope it does better.

Thanks for sharing.

Tim, I took a much closer look and no it does not have serrated leaves. So I than looked at all my rostratas and half have serrated leaves and half dont.
PS. I also grew thompsoniana that year and some got mixed up. :?

Hi Aaron

Sorry for the long delay. Y. thompsoniana has a serrated leaf edge. Y. rostrata can have a serrated leaf edge. The rostrata form without a serration is called Y. Rostrata v integra. The two rostrata I have are somewhat intermediate......the serration is not pronounced but is there.

Ok, that explains it. I had some thompsoniana mixed up with the rostrata. :wink:

Now I'm going to have to check mine.
I don't see any serration but maybe it's because they're only a few years old?
Having said that, I still wouldn't run my hand along my rostrata leaves...ouch.

Similar to a ponytail palm...would shred fingers.

Thanks Tim.

To clarify......most rostrata will have a serrated leaf edge. The form of rostrata without a serrated leaf edge is the variety called 'integra'. Thomposoniana leaves will generally be shorter in length and will have more rigid leaves when compared to rostrata. 8)

Mine too, then.

So mine are Yucca Rostrata "Integra" var Sapphire Skies? (gasp...breathing again).

Even enlarging this pic, there's not a hint of serration:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/9678369349/" title="003 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5491/9678 ... a051_c.jpg" width="800" height="600" alt="003"></a>

But they're still sharp to touch.

Thanks!

you may have to take a closer photo of the leaf edge or feel the serrations with your finger. :shock:

The serrations are not as pronounced as Yucca aloifolia.

Mario took a nice close up photo showing small serrations......not a rostrata but similar in appearance.

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.

This was last year after my biggest rostrata bloomed, sorry no pics of the bloom. It was very nice and whiter than the one that bloomed this year.
