That's some very cool desert landscaping Aaron! Thanks for the link.

How well do you think those yuccas will transplant-I'm assuming most of those are transplanted from far warmer winters (in addition to the difficulty of transplanting, especially, y.brevifolia, in general)?

Thanks

!

I guess they have done good with the transplanting. They have been there a few years now and I hear they are doing good. I hear before they planted the big y. faxons they had big saguaros but they did not last long.

That's awesome. I would really like living in that neighborhood.

Awesome looking landscaping!

I'm really impressed that specimens from warmer places would transplant so nicely. Very cool to see. This bodes well for the hardy yucca hobby. We need to get some trunking yucca transplants up to the folks in the Okanagan

!

Thanks for the cool post Aaron!

I would love to see something like that in the Okanagan area. The south-west keeps heading north.

Yeah, That would be cool. There are some trunking yuccas around here in the Okanagan but not like those.

Aaron thanks for the pics. I would love to get some of those huge Yuccas here in the Okanagan Valley.Times are a changin though. The city of Kelowna is starting to buy some larger palms. Next year I`m bringing in some 20 gal. Joshua trees from a friend in So.Cal. Maybe Jay will be interested and Barb?

The giant Oroville, WA elata is proof that many of the hardier trunking yuccas should survive in the Okanagan or will, at least, have a good shot.

Dear John,

Please don't forget me on your J-Tree order list

! Everybody on this forum needs one plant that they spend an obsessive amount of time and effort protecting. Thanks!

John, share some pics when you get them in.

Good to hear they are planting something different. I have seen alot of change here also over the years.

That subdivision is amazing Aaron! They sure did spend some coin to make it look like that, I hope it pays off! It sure does look nice.

I was thinking the same thing, those j-trees are huge- must of cost a small fortune.

Duncan I will post some pics when I get them next spring. Aaron I met with one of the city parks guys and he is the reason they are more progressive thinking.He has a lot of palms and yuccas planted at his place. It`s about time!

Duncan,

I like your quote

"Everybody on this forum needs one plant that they spend an obsessive amount of time and effort protecting."

Ain't that the truth!!!

Bill

Cowtown Palm Society · Post by **Cowtown Palm Society** » Sun Aug 08, 2010 5:07 pm

Thanks Bill

! It's true for any zone though, isn't it ?(well not fully tropical)-you can always find some plant to zone push.

I'm just waiting for the day when you tell us you're actually in Florida

! Just kidding, but man your plants look healthy! How's the hardy palm business in New England?

That would be cool to have one if my wife will let me spend the money.

BILL MA · Post by **BILL MA** » Wed Aug 11, 2010 6:55 am

Thanks Duncan!

The business is doing good for the first year, I would like to sell a lot of stuff this weekend so I don't have to deal with it over winter. Price cuts coming soon!!!
