Tim, what is the shorter yucca to the left. The one with the fat leaves?

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.

Hi Tim.... it looks to have pulled through ok with some damaged outer leaves. :D One thing that has puzzled me is why you chose Carnerosana instead of Faxoniana which is more frost tolerant or maybe that was the reason :wink:
I could of course be completely ga ga not knowing you have one but you have so many Yuccas I get confused :lol:

Jim..........yes.......a top cover 'should' do the trick during winter. A dry Yucca in winter is a happy Yucca :D

Aaron........the fat leaf Yucca to the left of the carnerosana is Y. cernua. It's like a wide leaf pallida which actually grows in our climate! :lol: Y. pallida is not that happy in our climate........need a higher pH? I did purchase a bag of lime already for the Yucca bed. I'll have to buy a few more bags this season.......lets see if there will be an improvement??
