Looking forward to Josef's opinion on cold hardiness.

In the meantime, a good site on Y.rostrata / rigida / etc winter hardiness:

Hi Barb
Cold hardiness cross rostrata x rigida is better/and nicely/ that rigida/-12C to-15C/,I think about -15C-18C.
Last year 3 weeks cold period with low 9C without protection no problem/no fully rooted !!/
Here update 2008pic

Josef,
That is good to know.

One more question: what fertilizer do you use and when?

Grateful for your input and photos of your superb specimens.
Thank you.

Hello Barb.
Not fertilize few years,when not fully rooted.

Josef,
How long until fully rooted?

I read (somewhere?) a good yucca fertilizer is 3-1-2 once a month.
Or 19-6-12 for 3 months.

Josef, you're the yucca and agave "master".

I will wait until fully rooted.

Thanks for the advice.

Hi Barb

When apparent growth, I thimk no problem with little fertilize.
