Nice to see the detail.
Those "rocks" with labels, or is that a solar collector with uplight on other side?
That trunking yucca is very beautiful, and suckering.

Hi Damir,
welcome to the board. Your garden is very nice. What is the very narrow juniper looking conifer? It has an interesting shape to it.

that is italian cupressus, cupressus sempervirens pyramidalis. it grows fast,mine was grown from seed,3 years old now. it is cold hardy to -20C, maybe even more. it reinforces the impression of the Mediterranean.

Did yours trunk at a young age?that yucca is recurvifolia
I've seen older ones that had no trunk at all.
Then I found this: wonderful tall trunk!

Barb, I believe the "yours" is Y. gloriosa. But it doesn't matter.

oh, you have been here? nice! pula is at coast, i live near hungarian border,eastern croatia. it about 450 kilometers. in summer i like to go to makarska, its a small town in Dalmatia,our southern region (dubrovnik,split...).igor.glukhovtsev wrote:How far you are from the Pula region?

yes, i think in 2nd year it made some small trunk,now is 5 years old. last summer it started to sucker, but i cut all small ones,so that it dosent look like bush. maybe that one is a hybride with some species that do not trunk. who knows....lucky1 wrote:Did yours trunk at a young age?that yucca is recurvifolia

The gloriosa/recurvifolia do look very similar...
and hybrids might be common considering how prolific yuccas are when they flower.
Agree a trunking specimen looks better than a bush.
Is there a chance the cut suckers might root with some rooting hormone?
Might be worth a try

Barb, my "old" Recurvifolia died last spring so I've haven 4 or 5 suckers instead of it as well as a top of mature (died) plant rooted during the growing season.

Igor, it'll be interesting to hear how that is doing.
It would be wonderful to get more plants that way.

all my gloriosa/recurva,3 plants, were cutings from older plants. i didnt use hormone,just stab it into the soil,and in less then a month they produce roots. also this methode is working with filamentosa. the best time to do that is spring or summer. so it has enough time to grow roots,before winter. here is often that in winter because of the wet snow,older gloriosa broke in winter if the trunk is not fat. at my neighbours garden few times that happened. he just takes the part which is broken and pit it in garage till spring and then put it in the ground and it make roots. the main plant often after that makes branches.lucky1 wrote:The gloriosa/recurvifolia do look very similar...

damir, your reply is so very encouraging!
One more Q: what if a piece of the stem (wood) broke off with it?
Would you let that woody part "air dry" for a few days before sticking it in the soil?
Or stick it in the ground right away?
I thought the woody end had to dry out first, form a callous, as with succulents (including jade tree).
Thanks for this interesting discussion!

Hi Damir,
I may have to try one of those cupressus sempervirens pyramidalis! I like it alot. What is the typical coldest day time high temperatures you get?

Damir,
Showed your pictures to my husband, who travelled extensively in Europe (a long time ago.)
He smiled and said "ah yes, that beautiful city of Dubrovnik...I was there for 3 weeks"
He loved his visit and said the people were so friendly; he said the water temperature was the same as the air temperature at the beach mid-August.
Thank you!

you should try to plant cupressus s.p. lowest temp here in winter was -25C few years ago,regulary it goes to -17,maybe -20. that -25,was just for one morning around xmass time. this year is not the case. lowest temp this year was -13C one morning. few days -10. mostly around -5 to -8C. this year even my cidp survived,good wrapped,not heated,with some leaf damages,but central spear looks green like in summer time.TimMAz6 wrote:Hi Damir,

we have hot summers, to 35C, so most of exotics can recover after/if there was some damage. frost free march/april to october/november. only problem is that we have lot of rain,sometimes snow in winter so it could be difficult for species that do not tolerate cold/wet conditions.
thanks! dubrovnik is most popular with tourists,but i think that all other citys are same the beautiful. i'll make some colection of few city's pisc and post it here. have you heard for the film "wow croatia"? it won emmy award last year. here is linklucky1 wrote:Damir,

Hi Damir,
your climate sounds similar to mine. We receive about 4 inches (10cm) of precipitation every month of the year.

Damir, thank you very much for posting those outstanding videos. No wonder they won awards!
Magnificent!
Tour guides did such a good job of explaining culture and history, wonderful to learn more about it.
Rich history from Roman times and such beautiful architecture!
That's what's missing in most of North America (obviously because we live in a young continent).
Seems in my town (and many others) the oldest building is a Midas Muffler Shop
I marvel at the work the stonemasons did, the cobbled streets are so beautiful compared to our ugly asphalt roads and concrete driveways.
Thank you also for your winter plant pictures!
Wonderful way to start my day...
