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.

Aaron, I sure like the look of yuccas in pots, especially the gorgeous nanas.
Are those metal pipes? or clay/chimney flue sections?
Did you put any soil in them, or is it all gravel for a growing medium?

Thanks,
They are planted in normal soil, and are in old propane tanks that burned in the fire. All I did was cut the tops of and cut slits in the bottom with a cut-off saw/gas powered metal saw.
If you want to try some next year let me know? I will send some that way. They grow fast with a little water, of course I don't give mine much.

Those "pots" are PROPANE TANKS?
Yes, please, I'd love to try a baby nana or two
Or did you mean the tanks?

So pretty, what a shame they die after flowering.
That's enough incentive to cut the flower stalk off.

I don't think they all die after blooming, the one in the pic is still alive. It is the one in the middle sized container, the top died but re-sprouted from the sides of the crown. And I think the one in the small container has bloomed also, but has not done anything else. If they do die, they resprout from the roots for the most part. Also I would only recommend these in containers because when you move them from one place to another they keep popping up from the roots, even though I think I got all roots from the soil.lucky1 wrote:So pretty, what a shame they die after flowering.

Thanks for the clarification, Aaron.
Apart from looking really good in containers, glad blooming isn't fatal.
So you're saying they're borderline invasive?
Doubt I'd mind
How cool would that be...except on the driveway, etc.

No, because they don't spread around, but they are hard to remove. They are like a magic trick, once removed they magically reappear.lucky1 wrote: So you're saying they're borderline invasive?

So like some other yuccas, picking the right place the first time is important.

Doubt our constabulary will allow 'em across the border Aaron.
Far too gorgeous a yucca to risk that.
I'd be soooooo mad.

Hi teebee,
I had heard that it works for Ontario's border crossings, even calling something "houseplant" seems to get them across.
Years ago, I ordered a bunch of stuff from the Plant Delights nursery in the Carolinas and had to get a phytosanitary certificate ($$$$), etc.
The nursery said it wouldn't work otherwise.
Apparently the BC border nazis are very very tough.
I wonder if we should do a "dry run" with some garden grass...I mean SOD, minus soil, ha ha.
That kind of grass anyway.
Just trying to save one of your nice seedlings, Aaron, from getting tossed into a garbage can.
