Try to pollenate the flowers so seed pods will develop.

I'm suprised 'coz this yucca is much bigger, have stiffer and narrower and more pale leaves, but you're the expert, not me

I was told this was a glauca when I bought it!

Will try to pollenate in few days

It's not a 'true' filamentosa but the habit, leaves and flowers are pointing that way. Seed could have been produced on a Y glauca but pollenated by a Y filamentosa; therefore, we are seeing mostly filamentosa genes.

Hello Marceli,
Your yuccas look very nice but where is your rostrata? it should be of a nice size now

I wish it was still summer too but september felt like a summer here and helped my yuccas add a little more size

Have faith, mine took a few years before they started growing good. Some of mine are still struggling.

It looks healthy, next year it will be double that size
