Some of my yuccas in 2012

Post by **Jay-Admin** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 4:05 pm

Been awhile since I posted any pics. Here's a few updated pics
of some of my yuccas.

Y. Rostrata planted from a seedling given to me from Aaron (desertzone)

Hope you enjoy the pics.

Jay, fabulous yuccas! Is there elata among them? And no winter protection?

Post by **Jay-Admin** » Tue Sep 04, 2012 7:17 am

Thanks Igor, I have no elatas yet. I don't protect the big ones. Only the little ones get covered when
we get our cold snap every winter.

Thanks, Jay, but what is a yucca on a pic before the last one?

That's my mystery yucca.

I bought it 7 years ago and I believe it just said yucca on the label.
It's starting to trunk. I always thought it was just some form of glauca.

Nice collection! I'd also I.D. that Yucca as glauca.

Is that recurvfolia in pic #2?

Post by **Jay-Admin** » Wed Sep 05, 2012 7:08 am

Thanks Paul, Yes that's a recurv in pic #2.

Jay, love your Y.rostratas.

Can you find a quick photo of your winter cover? No heat?
Mine are on the south side of house too.

Wonder if I could stop heating mine this winter....

risky.

Thanks Barb,

I don't really cover or heat anything for the winter. I usually
just use an umbrella cover for the little ones for the first winter or two.

I'm too lazy to cover and heat my plants.

Nice shots, Jay! I like that recurvifolia in the 2nd pic!

Post by **Jay-Admin** » Wed Sep 05, 2012 10:30 pm

Hey thanks Cameron,

Yes that's a recurvifolia in the second pic and a trunking one in the last picture.

Well, since you're only 35 miles south of me, maybe I should try that with one of the three y.rostrata.

And you could attend the funeral in April

How would you choose? Just pic the middle child and throw him out in the cold, or maybe the runt? He don't do much anyways.

You're speaking to a mother

Thanks for making it tougher.

The runt already died...it was the 2-headed y.rostrata.

OK, you decide:

As long as there's beer at the funeral when we mourn the death
of the rostratas.

I'm kidding. I would think they would be fine but just in case only test
one out this winter.

Is that a can of LaBatt's I see??

You guys are so funny.....

Bill and I were having a similar discussion-but this was
inspired by the massive size of his palms...which one do
you start/experiment with...when scaling down protection?
