I have images for you & Jay (BC interior)
BTW, I enjoyed seeing yuccas in the Vernon area. I actually wanted to scoop one and bring it to Vancouver Island.
OK, here's a big Washingtonia robusta near the BC Ferry Terminal.
Cheers

islander, that is one unbelievably huge, magnificent Washy!
Wow, that's got to be 30 - 35 years old?
What...these Yucca plants?
Scooping yuccas of any size leads to sore feet, a bad back and a broken shovel.
Before I planted the filamentosas I recall reading "choose your planting site carefully, nearly impossible to dig out after a few years".
Thanks. Hope there'll be more pictures.

Probably less than 10 years old. In warmer places they will grow that large in 5-6 years.
