Yucca recurvifolia 'Cousin It'

Post by TimMAz6 » Tue Jan 29, 2013 1:17 pm

Yucca recurvifolia 'Cousin It' is still green..........I question the hardiness of the odd-ball since it has a serrated leaf edge (aloifolia genes). It still looks good after a decent cold spell with one day High 13F and low -0.9F.

Tim,
I saw a "Cousin It" in the PDN catalogue.
Apart from the thin white leaf edges, almost looks like lily leaves.

Did OK though in your winter...you're not impressed?

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Great shot, Tim. I would try one here if I had more yard space! I think the drooping leaves of "Cousin It" help make it look more tropical than it really is!

I am impressed so far...............I'm just concerned since it has so many aloifolia genes in it! :lol:

I was hoping it would be a faster grower............perhaps it will take off this season. 8)
