Ditto to what Paul said :lol:

Have you ever considered trying aloifolia with some minor protection?

I've killed loads of Y. aloifolias over the years.......they die every winter. There was one form of Y. aloifolia which was sent to be as a Y. gloriosa but it had a serrated leaf edge.....this one actually survived a winter or two prior to dying.

It would be a nice test to protect an aloifolia so it gets more 'established'. Some day.......not this year.

Ditto here Tim. I've probably killed 20 Y. alofolias over the years. Not a chance that a pure-blood Y. alofolia will survive in my zone 5 (4)!

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.

Tim what a great collection of varied yuccas. I planted a 5 gal Y. aloifolia back in March. It will be protected for at least a couple of winters. First try at Y. aloifolia so here`s hoping it makes it.

Tim, sorry to hijack your thread but can't find my original post :?

Took pics of the bloom on yucca in downtown Vernon this morning.
The soft pink/mauve sheaths are so attractive!

This next one has tons of new leaves shooting up at the same height... :D
Probably trying to stay ahead of the invading Daylilies.

great looking Yucca in bloom. Not sure of exact ID....it appears to be some sort of Y. angustissima type? It has very narrow leaves with filaments and a racemose bloom. How tall was the bloom?

Tim, guessing nearly 4 feet, it's almost double height of yucca (about 2 feet tall or so).
the mauve/pink flower sheaths are lovely.

Have never seen those y.varieties in the nurseries, just filamentosa the last few years.
Maybe I'll have to go back in the Fall to look for suckers :D

Thanks for those pics, Tim.
Never saw that on my y.filamentosa...shortage of yucca moths I suppose.

Will look for seed development in future.

Do you germinate them regularly?

Or just collect seeds to share?

Hi Barb,

give pollenation a try. Take the pollen from one Yucca plant and insert it into the flower 'tube' with a tooth pick. Best results if you do this after dark and before sunrise........so stay up late or get up early! A hybrid with the angustissima and filamentosa would be cool!

A brevifolia x would be awesome! We need to get you some brev. pollen, :D

I have heard that there is no kown brevifolia x?

Hi Barb,

I hybridize Yuccas to get unusual looking Yuccas. I tend to trade mostly with people in Europe since Yuccas seem more popular there. I have seedling Yuccas all over my yard....I need another acre of land!

Hi Jim,

your welcome here anytime!

Hi Aaron,

I've heard that brevifolia can't be breed with any other Yucca........but the DNA study by Clary has brevifolia closely related to Y. rostrata. I wonder if rostrata could be hybridized with brevifolia?
