Jay,
How is your yucca elatas doing? The one I got from Maple leaf has grown well this summer. A small trunk has formed but I noticed that it has three trunks in total. Does yours have more than one trunk?

Wes, I got two from maple leaf and the first one is doing awesome and the second one isn't looking to good but i hope it will survive. They both have three or four seperate trunks.

Regards,
Jay

Hopefully your second elata starts to look better before winter. Keep me posted on how yours does. I will let you know how mine is doing throughout the winter.

It's starting to look better with more green so i hope it will make it through winter.

That's good news. Mine has no green colouring at all. Mine is a baby blue colour.
I'll keep you posted.

It will

it might freeze to the ground, but will come back from the roots

At what temps does an elata freeze down to the ground?
I thought they were very hardy.

Wes...that has to do with many factors. Mainly has to do with the plant it's self. I had one that froze to the ground for atleast the first 3 winters I had it, but has gained much cold hardieness sence then. That plant even took awhile to get from the nusery in New Mexico because they all (their seedlings) froze to the roots and had to grow some leaves before the shipped them out.
They are subject to the cold or rot when they are young. How cold? who knows, it could be a dry cold below -20 Cel. or a prolonged wet cold just below freezing like I had last year that killed so much of my plants.
I had one freeze down to the roots last winter but did not freeze down the past 2 winters before. I also have one that came from the same seed and was planted at the same time in a very open spot and has never froze down.
