Yucca brevifolia

Aaron since your climate is dry unlikely if your beautiful yucca plants will obtain any freeze damage. Take care! Love your garden/plants too!

Those pics, wow, sooooooo beautiful

I can't imagine you leaving them behind when you move to your AZ place.
Bring in a backhoe that day.

This year, following your example, I'm gonna buy some j-tree seeds for sure!

Very hardy if kept dry.

I would take what I could. AZ has many strict plant laws and bringing plant into the state is almost always not allowed.

AZ has many strict plant laws

So they have "border" checks?

Sometimes, if you go through a border check station. I have never seen them say anything about my plants with tags, but if they see a bunch of dug up cactus, get braced

Yeah, because it might grow potatoes in AZ

I simply could NOT leave those plants behind.
But you've got a few years yet to plan it.

I've got 13 years, unless my evil plan goes off course.

That'll go by very quickly, watching baby grow.

great looking plants Aaron! I wish they could take all our precipitation.

Did you notice any damage on the Y. arkansana 'freemanii' x 'reverchonii-thompsoniana' hybrid? If any of the Yuccas I mailed you I think this MAY be the least hardy since the freemanii even gets damage here in mild zone 6b. Hopefully the other genes make it hardier.

I still have it but it did very little last year, hoping is will take off this year. Also I was going to cover it again this winter but never did, I need to check on it tomorrow.

I bet it's ok.

I just checked it and it looks good! It is covered but with the top open.

Hey, Aaron! Your best ever "Plant", your baby, is so nice and sweet! She is a true treasure of your home!!!

I couldn't resist and have bought some Y. brevifolia var. jaegeriana seeds. I always soak seeds before planting and I was more than happy seeing tiny root emerging from the seed. It tripled its size over night:

Good to know.

Please take more pics to show its progress.

That's god news.

They may be the easiest to sprout out of the yuccas, I bought some off e-bay and everyone I planted has sprouted.

Aaron, IMO everything looks better than this time last year.
Well done!

J-trees are soooo beautiful.
Did you see Bayfield's post on when he was cleaning out the landscaping at his neighbor's place?
Those J-trees are so tall you can walk under them.

Yours will be huge one day too...eat all your vegetables

Good work on your minimal protection, thank goodness they're all right.

I agree, they all look better this year, but was a bad year on cactus for some reason. And my biggest agave was doing good until all the rain leaked right on top of the crown.

I did see that post, soon mine could look like that.

Thanks!

Your plants look pretty good Aaron. The JTrees look mint. All we need now is some heat.

Thank you.

it seem like once they get a certain size they take off. All my yuccas are growing more right now than they did for most of the summer. I hope I don't see an early extreme hard frost. That's what did them in a few years back.
