i dug it up and saw many new roots
That is exciting! :D
I didn't realize yuccas would do that, good to know it works with a damaged brevifolia.
And good strong looking seedlings too.

You've got some great plants.
A warm spring has really moved your plants along.

Thanks for those pics.

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.

Nice, damir.
Has the CIDP fully recovered from slight winter damage?

Mine isn't moving yet, and it was indoors in the cold building!

great photos Damir! Great scenery. I would love to vacation their.

Do you have an update photo of your small Y. faxoniana? The leaves appear very narrow for a Y. faxoniana seedling. I received Y. faxoniana seeds from Mesa Garden back in 2001 and they grew into hybrid plants (crossed with a narrow leaf yucca). Some are still alive in my garden but very slow growing.

i dont have any of my own pics of terebinth pistachio. google it, it is the same look of the plant. looks like real one pistachio but smaller leaves, fruits.... i've read somewhere that the seeds of terebinth pistachio is sold in Turkey as a coffee. it has very interesting smell.

go figure your plants survive the brutal cold only to get damaged from roof ice! :?

You still look real cold over there! Still warm here! I guess your cold = our warmth!

winter is gone now.

this link shows temps in next 15 days.
tim, you are right, our cold in europe , is your warmth.
jim, it looks .... i wont say it, but you might know what i think.

i dug it out, the trachy palm, and plant it in the pot in basement till the spring comes out. and i will need another place for it, to avoid this year story. the main thing is that it is alive. i cut down all the leaves that were broken and some upper part of the trunk, it will survive.
