New Yuccas!

[Paul Ont]

Hey all,
If any of you are in So. Ontario, I suggest checking out Plant World here in Toronto. They currently have a few (maybe 5-7 of each species remaining) very unusual and hard to find Yuccas in stock. I was in yesterday and picked up a Yucca nana and a Yucca baccata. Both are smallish, but for the rarity more then worth the price I paid! They, along with the Y. kanabensis will make up the majority of the new Yuccas I'm planting this year (well, maybe I'll get a rostrata too...)
They also have Yucca alofolia 'variegata' which is NOT hardy below a warm zone 7 (unfortunately, as they are very nice looking)... Just thought I'd pass that along.
Oh, and they also have Tree Ferns in stock. A lot of them actually; ranging from perhaps 3-6 or 7 feet high. They have them labelled as 'Australian Tree Fern'; clearly they are Dicksonia antarctica... Prices range from 69.99 to 199.99; just in case anyone is interested!
I'm looking forward to getting these Yuccas in to the ground... First, I'll have to expand the back cactus bed... Which is probably a day long process. ugh.
Cheers,
Paul

Any pics Paul?

Yup we want pics please...you're still out digging?

This Westerner is sure envious of the availability in Ontario.

It's tough out here to find a retailer who'll bring in more variety than y.filamentosa.

We just have to keep bending John's arm so he'll start up his operation.
