Yucca plants after long-long winter

Post by igor.glukhovtsev » Mon Mar 24, 2014 9:03 am

Checked my tree yucca plants planted outdoor last summer at my office backyard:

Yucca flaccidaxreverchonii-thompsoniana. It has been having protection all winter but more than 1 m snow cover. Looks awesome:

Yucca nana. Same location even more snow cover but some plastic sheet above just in case. Looking healthy:

Yucca pallida was covered with a black growing pot and looks shity now. Hope it will survive:

One metre of snow was sure beneficial, Igor!
Beautiful!

On the pallida, were the pot's drain holes open and trapped moisture?
Hope it bounces back.

Love the nana, looks so different than my little one.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Nice pics Igor... I would love to take that Yucca Nana off your hands 8) , such a beautiful plant. I'm just wondering whether your pallida would have been better off with the same snow covering as the other Yuccas or perhaps a fungicidal spray prior to being enveloped. I've had a snowless Winter so mine looks pristine. :wink:

Nic pics, yucca pallida has to grow out of some damage but should be fine.

Great photos, Igor! If your area experienced a winter like we have in North America, the Yuccas might look a little different :lol:

Thanks everyone for the kind comments!
Barb, perhaps 1 m of snow is beneficial for a few days but for four months? Actually in January we got more than two months amount of snow.... And February was three time colder than usual.
Andy, this nana is two years seedling from the http://www.koehres-kaktus.de/ as well as the most of other seedlings I have except of the hybrids from Tim...
Chad, Cameron, Marceli, thanks you guys for your comments too!

As you know I had a bunch of yucca plants inside of unheated GH. It was too much unheated!
So what's happened to them:
1. Gloriosa green form is OK. Two variegated forms are OK too.
2. Recurvifolia green form is OK, the banana split has some leaf damage.
3. Rostrata sapphire sky three years seedling are OK
4. Thompsoniana is OK
5. Elata is OK
6. Glauca is OK
7. Torreyi is OK
8. Intermedia is OK
9. Pallida is OK
10. Joshua tree is OK
11. Faxoniana is dead
12. Baccata is OK

13. Agave parryi and havardiana are dead

14. Hesperaloe parviflora (even small seedlings) and funifera are OK ...

Any comments?

Any ideas why you had loses inside? The 3 deaths were really hardy plants, did they not harden off or just too small?

All these plants from the unheated GH except of gloriosa and recurvifolia are two years seedlings. And I believe a problem was long period of time with a temperature below 0 C with minimum around minus 12 - minus 15 C.

That is great news! All there is to do now, is wait for warmer weather. :D

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.
