Very nice agaves and yuccas.
Is that a t. fortunei in the background?
Is a wet humid climate there or very dry and arid?

So in pic 1 what type of yuccas are those. They look awesome!

We usually have wet winters and dry summers.
Lowest I have seen at my place is -9C but that was only once. That is about 16F.
So based on what you have told me I should be able to grow the same yuccas as you.

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.
