Sierra Vista AZ -2f
A winter burnt Dasylirion wheelerii? Strange to see one with winter burn in that country? May be strees from something else?

Aaargh!
But, as consolation, did you spot the 2 or 3 fabulous yuccas (and spent blooms) in front of the blue jeep?
You and I put on a lot of street-miles in winter, don't we Aaron?
I was recently in Nice, France...wow the palms there!!!!

Nope, I had to go back and look. Small yucca elatas.
Yes, lots and lots of street miles. France! oh yes! Would be wonderful to have a home there. Amazing!

Butia capitata, looks like it's taking longer to recover.
I have seen these in cold weather and they seem to take the cold better than phoenix sp, but after -2f might be a bit slower to grow back.

Lots of them. I have even seen them in Yuma AZ, one of the hottest places in North America.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAA. icon_biggrin.gif
Now try to find those plants again.
You're funny, Tim, attaboy!
And yes, Tim, I saw the 2 dead Washies across the street...too bad, they were huge.
Aaron's 2 earlier examples of Butia capitata I think are stone dead.
How sad to see so much carnage.
But then again, who's gonna protect a 20 foot tall palm tree?

those Trichocereus's look OK......wow. That's a nice test.
The Seguaro's look OK too. Perhaps a decent microclimate?
This IS my Y. elata.......who took that photo of my elata?
I wish.

Crazy, but they do that alot. I perfer a more natural look.
Barb you might want to use the url link (chain in the box) or the page will take to long to open, because every image will have to try and open at once.

I think the yucca could be a Daslirion?

Ajo is a very cool place. I think they only got down in the teens F not near as cold as the other places.
Barb, you might want to use the url from the link on the left of the pic. That way it wont load a whole page. Almost to many pages for my browser to open.

2011 map view of El Paso,
-5f and much colder than southern AZ, 3 days below freezing and yes some palms survived!
Tim what yucca is this? (could be schottii?) So far this street is the only one I found with the 2011 date.
