Jay! Looking good.
You're brevifolia is about the same size as mine was when it finally had had enough! The recurv's are very nice! And that rostrata will be an impressive specimen in a couple years!
The one in the last picture. I would have guessed Yucca elata, but, 1) they don't bloom at that size. and 2) The bloom stalk is far to small to be elata, and branches too low... So what is it? Y. thompsoniana?

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.

Not exactly sure. When I bought the yucca the tag just said soap tree yucca. I'm thinking a glauca?

They've sure shot up this year, Jay.
Look at the trunk length in that first pic! Great!
Mine are just now starting to recover from the brutal winter we had last year...strange, huh?
There's something about a rostrata that appeals to everyone! Beautiful.
Bill, we'll get you into yuccas in no time.
Your place might have a corner you'd want to xeriscape.

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

A friend of mine a few towns over has two beautiful rostratas about 6 feet high. That said they do fine here in my climate with no protection. Maybe I'll see if I can get my hands on one next year. Can you transplant them easily? I plan on moving sometime soon. I think I have a adams needle maybe? It a tough bugger. I dug it up this spring and left it in a 30 gal. bucket for a month or two during my restructer and now it looks better than ever. Go figure?
