In your garden, what yucca grows first?

Post by DesertZone » Sat Apr 27, 2013 10:05 am

In my garden, the first yucca to show good spring growth is the Joshua trees.
This pic was taken in Aprol 8 of 2012 in Idaho.
J-tree bloom.

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.

It is still alive, but is 25 miles south of me. I will try and get some pics next month. :D

Gorgeous!

I would say the Y.Aloifolia grows first but I hacked them down last year so it will be a while!

If you attempt hybrids with brevifolia you'll be a hero forever!

I don't know if they ever really stop growing around here, but the one that I notice moving most quickly in spring is Y. glauca/

If mine ever blooms, I will send some pollen to Tim or anyone else that wants some. :D Than we will see what happens!
I think the reason there is no brevifolia hybrids is because it blooms so early compared to other yuccas. :|

that J Tree is a beauty Aaron!

I took a few shots of the Yuccas which break dormancy first in my climate.........many are just starting to break.....not very noticeable except for these:

Yucca flaccida x 'reverchonii-thompsoniana'
