Loved the pictures Damir
Yes that Trachy looks like Jim's surgery technique, fingers crossed it'll come back.
The cat EATS your yuccas?
Silly boy, but very cute.
Nice specimens you have, looking forward to seeing the M/F pistachios grow.
Thankfully your horrible cold is over with no other damage.
Glad that c.humilis rigida was under the snow!

Nice to see spring finally arrive for you.
That much growth on an elata in a year? EXCELLENT!
The W. filifera and W.filibusta are going to grow a lot this year.
Everything looks good, damir, and warm!

PS--where's the ice-crashed trachy?

Still in your basement during your nice weather?
It might be happier outside during the day?
Hope it grows 5 leaves for you this year

barb, there are still some morning lows like -2, -3 C, during the day 10 to 15C. and trachy is sensitive since inner leaves are out now,soft and white. soon as the morning temps reach 10 C it will be planted outdoor. it will recover very quickly. it grows about 10 leaves every year. but damage rewind it few years back.
thanks aron. yes,everything will grow very well. besides this yucca,agave,opuntia,palms.. i have few new fruit trees like pawpaw,poncirus trifoliata -some kind of wild lemon tree semi edible,but cold hardy to -30 C. and wild olive oliva europea sylvestris. i have no much expectations with it that will survive here in zone 7a, but who knows...

Hi Damir,
it looks like spring has 'sprung'. Nice plants. Your A. lechiguilla looks like it may be a hybrid lechiguilla too. I like it.

Everything did so well while you were gone for six months!

Damir, wonderful pics! I am a bit jealous of some of your agaves. That is also a nice roebellini
You will get double the growth on your pawpaws, if you keep them in 80 to 90% shade, that is if the direct sun hasn't killed them yet.

Gorgeous P.roebellini, and nice neat pruning job.
Congrats on your overwintering job.
Amazing that's all you needed.
9 years for pistachios
Re photo size, your photo hosting site selection must've clicked back to large on the HTML pane.
Scroll through until you find a Medium size...600 or 800 etc.
Looks like spring has arrived for you
