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.

Barb,be carefull not to let it get to much water in spring as soil temps will be lower than when you tried this past fall,once the soil warms up you can give it a good soaker.

planted 15 gal y.rostrata
Finally in the ground, hopefully for good.
With its two heads, it'll be gorgeous one day.
But the yucca filamentosa took a beating this winter!
Glad I didn't lose them, but there's a lot of winter damage:

I'd better look up rigida to learn its hardiness.
Almost lost an eye planting this thing! Ouch.
Hope it can handle our brutally cold winters (-27 C) in a leaf cage with styrofoam.
Otherwise it'll be a goner.
Thanks!

Re rigida: there are no yellow margins or tiny teeth on my specimen.
OOPS! YES IT DOES HAVE A YELLOW MARGIN ON EACH SIDE OF LEAF, BUT NO TEETH.
I'll take a close-up picture soon.

http://www.tropicalcentre.com/yucca/yuc ... rigida.htmYucca rigida is in general a single trunked species, but occasionally it forms multiple trunks growing up to 4-5m height. The beautiful light blue stiff leaves are 30-70 cm long and are 1,2 to 2 cm wide, but in cultivation they can reach 120 cm in length, ending in a stiff dark brown spine. The leaves are also lined with a yellow margin and very tiny teeth.
I'll take a close-up picture soon.

Here's the close-up:
As Y. rigida, it's not as cold hardy as Y. rostrata.
