Planting Depth for Red Yucca

Post by bgodwin1987 » Tue Feb 12, 2013 4:17 pm

Does anyone know how I should plant a red yucca, should the soil line be above the crown or below. I was thinking below but the lady I got these from said above. I just don't want them to rot.

The crown needs to be above the soil line. :wink:

Below and they will rot. Almost always better shallow than to deep. :D

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's right, but I'll offer a little rhyme.

Plant it high, it won't die.
Plant it low, it won't grow.

I dunno who gets credit for it but its helped me out numerous times!

Ditto.
Never below the soil line.
