Not many pics of variegated Yucca species here. Today Jan. 18-08 I took these pics of Yucca gloriosa var. variegata.
Cheers, Barrie.

So much nicer than looking at the tips of mine sticking up out of the snow.

Allen,
I don't think these Yucca gloriosa variegata are hardy in Edmonton, or are you refering to the Yucca genus in general terms?
Cheers, Barrie.

Thanks,
Indeed Todd it is mine ... in my front garden no less. The thing is bullet proof here.
Cheers, Barrie.

Let me know if it sets seed...

And it they retain the variegation.

Will do, although I've never seen any Yucca set seed here. Any local stuff always seems to be from divisions or cuttings.
Cheers, Barrie.

Wes ... it appears to be forming a trunk right now it's about 6" of clear trunk and heavily branched. No flowers yet. The leaf tips are very sharp which makes it diffucult to groom.
Todd ... ten bucks! They'll be worth 3 times that in a year or two. Always buy a bargain I say.
Cheers, Barrie.

Both of my yuccas are variegated but they are still small and easily snow covered. There are few yuccas that are hardy here and I don't think that gloriosa is one of them.

Allen ... any pics of those variegated
Yucca you have?
Wes ... here's a pic of the trunk(s) that has formed so far.

I have posted them elsewhere in the forum. Unfortunately I don't remember where.
Must be Oldtimers disease setting in.
After their first full year;
A couple of weeks ago;

Where did you get yours?
I got to try and find one.
I really like trunking yuccas.

Hey Wes ... if you're ever over on the "rock", I have a 5 gallon sized specimen nearly busting out of the pot. A trade may be in the works for W.H.Y.?
Cheers, Barrie.

Can't really weigh in on hardiness or trunking here... But, I do have a Yucca glorisa variegata that I am testing this winter. So far it has seen temps of -22.4C. Not sure if it will look as good in spring, but I thought I'd post a pic of this small plant!

Good luck with it Paul.
If it survives your winter, it may just be tough enough to try out here.

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.
