Sweet :D Looks like you got a very good deal on that one. How much did you pay for it?

I do, what are you looking for? I have many sp. I have a lot of $5.00 yuccas. I think if I ship them in a envelope they don't care if it is a plant or not? I can maybe put as many as 3 in an envelope. I think I would have a hard time putting a cactus cutting in an evelope, unless it was a spinless sp. like one of the Opuntia basilaris sp. I have 2 deferent sp. They are $5.00 for a cutting and I also have O. polyacantha, O. phaeacantha, O. violacea var. macrocentra and some others I don't know what they are. Shipping is $6.00 for any order :)

Sounds good Aaron. :D Maybe i'll get some cacti at the end of April but for now i'll take a couple of yuccas. Do you have any rostratas and faxoniana? Or what ones do you have for sale. If you could pm me your address i'll send you a money order.

Regards,
Jay

Yucca Elata

Post by Wes North Van » Fri Mar 31, 2006 10:15 pm

Jay,
Looks just like mine! Mine is very root bound. I hope it transplants easily.
I am glad you were able to get one.
I thought it was a good deal. Looking forward to planting mine this weekend.
I will keep an eye out for you if I spot anymore good deals at Maple Leaf Nurseries.

Hi Wes,

I couldn't pass up that deal. :D That would be great if you would let me know of any more deals. :) I wanted to plant mine the other day but had no time to do it. Hopefully this weekend.

Very cool

Post by yuccaman » Sun Apr 02, 2006 5:08 pm

I like that yucca :D I dont think a can get yuccas right now. I dont think they have anything at hollandale nursery. All that people are selling are shovels, rakes,grass seeds,pots etc.. I would like to live in Vancouver or the interer of BC and get stuff early. But not in my area.Not all sites rate them zone 5b but since im in 6a too they should work.It will work in zone 5b with good drainage.

23c That's nice and warm. :D Looks like i have to start cutting my lawn. :( Cutting grass is the only thing i don't like about spring. In a couple of years i won't have to cut my front lawn as i'm getting rid of it and putting down some nice rock along with yuccas and cacti. :D
