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.

Hey, Aaron, was it cold damage or snowmelt in the crown?
Have you ever put a snow protection cover on it?
Each year it's getting more and more hardy.

It was cold damage, the center was fine but the outer leave were burnt. I did protect it when it was young, but not sence it has grown. Last winter stayed cold for to long and did much damge here. I lost several yucca, wished I coverd them all. The nice thing about it is I am weeding out the weak.lucky1 wrote:Hey, Aaron, was it cold damage or snowmelt in the crown?

Hi Aaron,
It's kinda weird that rostrata would struggle in your neck of the woods, especially given your successes with brevifolia. It's hard to tell from photos, but the leaves on this specimen look more rigid (pun intended) than what I have seen on rostrata. Could this plant be the less hardy y. rigida? Could this also be the case for the one you lost this winter? Just a theory....

PS. I have posted more than one rostrata here, the two headed one is by the house and the other has the burn. I decided to make this my offical rostrata yucca page.

That rostrata is a form with thin straight leaves but flexibale to the touch. We had a warm fall and things kept growing late into the season, and then without warning we got very cold fast -0f in November. Then I think what did most things in was our cool/cold spring that never warmed up. I think these to thing is what killed and burnt so many of my plants this year.
PS. I also lost my desert-willow this year.

It could be, but is different than the linearfolia I had that was not hardy. I will check on the leaves but I'm sure it has serrated leaves.TimMAz6 wrote:Nice Yucca for zone 5b!! I agree with Duncan.....your 'rostrata' does not appear to be 'typical'. My gut was telling me it's a Yucca linearfolia which looks very closely like a Y. rostrata. Does your 'rostrata' have a serrated leaf edge?

very nice rostratas. I just took a photo of a Yucca filamentosa x rostrata. I hope these will tolerate more cold and moisture than Y. rostrata. This was seed grown from Denmark (Benny).

I'm amazed at all the cross yuccas you have, very, very cool.
Have you ever heard of a brevifolia cross? I thought I did once, but then later heard it could not be done?

I have noticed that my rostratas have thinner leaves than the others I have seen. My seed source came from a person in El paso.

It's very interesting to hear your rostratas were seed grown from El Paso. Perhaps the seed is hybrid with another Yucca such as elata or another narrow leaf Yucca. It will be interesting to see your rostratas mature.......perhaps we can find out which, if any, Yucca may be involved. Someone from El Paso sent me some rupicola seed and it's clearly a hybrid since the leaves are 'U' shaped. Keep us posted on your rostratas.
Nice ones guys-
mine is looking happier and healthier every year as well as gaining cold hardiness!

I thought my rostrata was an elata when I planted it until it got bigger and I noticed trates of rostrata instead of elata (no threads and no white lined leaves). But when it was younger I could have sworn it was elata.TimMAz6 wrote:It's very interesting to hear your rostratas were seed grown from El Paso.

one way to ID Y. rostrata is that the leaf edge may have tiny serrations, predominantly along the part of the leaf closest to the trunk. Do your seed grown rostratas have these tiny serrations? Also, the leaf edge is yellowish. If you have time please post some close up photos of your 'rostrata' plants/leaves.

This little yucca has no serrations and a thin white stripe on leaf edges, and lots of filaments. Lost tag, but think it said Joshua Tree.
Lousy image (it was windy) but white stripe is evident on one clearly seen leaf.
This little yucca rostrata "sapphire skies" does have the tiny serrations (ouch), even though they're not even noticeable close up.
And a thin band of yellow on each leaf edge .
And until last winter, this next one was a real big beauty.
Looks like it'll be totally dead by the end of summer.
Not growing in the center either now.

Photo #1 sure looks to be a Y. elata or perhaps Y. baileyi, angustissima, or a form of glauca.
Photo#2 sure looks like a Y. rostrata.
Photo#3 does not look like the typical Y. rostrata. The leaves appear to be more "U" shaped than rostrata. I would guess it's Y. rigida or the intermediate form between Y. rigida and Y. rostrata aka Y. rostrata v rigida which is available in the market. Yucca rigida is a good zone less hardy than rostrata and may explain why your having difficulties growin it.

Tim, thanks for jogging my memory.
It sure is sad to see the big one (3rd pic) in a death spiral, with nothing I can do.
I don't even want to stress it by potting it up.
What would you do?

I have a Yucca pallida doing the same (dieing off). I've seen this occur before and sometimes a new offshoot will emerge from the underground roots. Hopefully this will happen with your Yucca. I wouldn't dig it up this time of year. However you may want to give it some winter protection since it may be a Yucca rigida (ie. construct a mini greenhouse around it come November.

I checked it the other day and it has smooth leaf egdes. I thought I cheched for this in the past but must not have. But has the typical light yellowish egdes. I could post a pic but it is so windy here I don't think it will show. It looks just like rostrata. I will post a pic later.TimMAz6 wrote:one way to ID Y. rostrata is that the leaf edge may have tiny serrations, predominantly along the part of the leaf closest to the trunk.

Double headed Y.rostrata
I was watering my newly planted y. rostrata`s 3 gal. and noticed that there was a two header Y.rostrata.I googled two head Y. rostrata and the #1 hit came up with our site and Aaron`s pics. So here are some pics of some Y.rostrata small 3 gal. I hope they the grow as good as previous Aaron`s pics in Idaho.Two separate plants?

Those look good John, can't wait to see them grow over the years.
I can see that mine are looking worse as the weather warms. These pics are from march.
my best rostrata
and my #2
They look bad but sure they will pull through.

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.

Then there are some palms that take 2 years to die...Interesting how a plant will look good all winter then by late spring look like crap
Hope your stuff bounces back like crazy, Aaron.
They're such nice specimens.
John, those look great there!
What a great planting site.
I've got a 2-headed yucca rostrata too (one of 4 planted out last month).
Doesn't look as strong as the others.
I also wondered whether it was two plants when I got my order, but seemed to be one plant.
Here it is today:

Here are the other three that look like they're taking off:

I watered them all with compost "sludge" last week.

Yes, the red is most distinctive on the two-headed one, although the others have a hint of it too.
Remember what they looked like when I got them from PDN in North Carolina?
Jim quipped that they had packed red wiggler worms into the roots.
The two-header is 4th from left, definitely smaller than the rest.
But it's clear that it is one plant.

Yours are way ahead of mine...bet they're all waiting for real heat to happen.
