Paul- Glad to hear yours are sprouting also! I also heard from Scott in Omaha that his are sprouting too. I still have not had the chance to get mine going. Been so busy and out of town too much lately. I plan to get them going this week for sure though. It will be very interesting to see how fast-growing this new cross is. Thompsoniana is much faster growing than I expected, though I wouldn't say it is fast in general compared to other plants. Coupled with filamentosa which in my experience grows at a pretty decent rate too, no experience with elata, I can't wait to see these in a few years...

Aha! there's the pic, thanks!
going to need to pot up soon.
Why do they have to be potted up so soon?

I just went and looked at how many Dasylirion wheeleri I've got in that same-size pot.
And guess what?
I forgot that it was still OUTSIDE...

Damn!

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.

Unless they take a while to fall over, they don't look bad this morning.
Helluva test, huh?

That's awesome Jim! Thanks for posting the pic. Good question, what should we call this new yucca?

I think winter has finally arrived here. We had our first teens (lows) this past week and got a couple inches of snow. Got down to 14 here last night! I plugged in my palm hut a few days ago. Now if we can just have a normal spring 2012 this will be a nice shortened winter bacause of the nice mild fall...

I hear ya

We kinda just switched to having winter weather........
all of the sudden the snow covers/claims the ground again.

Nothing to bad though.....
And its kind of fun to see the snow fall again.

keep the photos coming....I'd like to see what traits those hybrid seeds will take on. I still haven't cleaned all my Yucca seed pods yet. Sorry to everyone for the long delay in mailing them out. I've been way too busy this fall.....my Trachy is still not fully protected and we had a low of 9F the other day.......a close call.
