Try to pollenate the flowers so seed pods will develop. 8)
:o I'm suprised 'coz this yucca is much bigger, have stiffer and narrower and more pale leaves, but you're the expert, not me :D I was told this was a glauca when I bought it!

Will try to pollenate in few days :)

It's not a 'true' filamentosa but the habit, leaves and flowers are pointing that way. Seed could have been produced on a Y glauca but pollenated by a Y filamentosa; therefore, we are seeing mostly filamentosa genes.

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.

Hello Marceli,
Your yuccas look very nice but where is your rostrata? it should be of a nice size now :)
I wish it was still summer too but september felt like a summer here and helped my yuccas add a little more size :thumbup:

Have faith, mine took a few years before they started growing good. Some of mine are still struggling.
