Yucca Recurvifolia in Penticton BC March 25 2011

Stopped for dinner on our way home and noticed these cool looking
yucca recurvs in Penticton BC Canada. Looks like they have been there for some time.

Awesome looking. :)

Good find!

Any idea of the low they would have seen? You should go back for some root pieces!

Thanks guys. Not sure on the lows in that area of Penticton. It's away from the lakes.

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.

Doing good. One is a little burnt from winter but it should survive. :)

Nice pics of those Y.recurvifolia. It looks like they`ve been there for a while. Coldest was -17c they suffered through this winter end of Nov.2010. It would be nice to see more people planting these Yuccas in the Valley. Got any pics of yours in the yard Jay?
