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.

Hi Aaron,
I remember one of those videos. Can you drive by and see if they are still alive??? or is this location too far away from you? I'd like to know if those fax's can survive in ID too.

Boise is not my favorite place, but I can tell you that they are still alive as recent as last year and this winter was mild. I have no problem going there if I did not have to drive alone. My wife is not one to look around for plants.TimMAz6 wrote:Hi Aaron,

If I could I would also hunt down the trachies in Nampa ID, not far from Boise. I might try and talk LaMar into going? But would depend if he would be willing?
Ok, If your going to twist my arm I might go...when it warms up a bit more.
PS Boise has had fax's for aleast 10-20years but they change things so fast over there. They have some going up a hill on the road to the bench area. If I can think how to get there?

Hi Aaron,
those are some nice specimens. The Y. rostrata has some really narrow leaves.......this is great. Since it has two heads it must have bloomed recently.
The Cyperus is totally cool. That's a really big specimen.

I really like Suguro Canyons landscaping. I like all the rock and hardscape, and the way they mixed the yuccas and cacti with more common hardy garden plants that have a desert kinda feel. Like the russian sages, sedums, Mexican feather grass, Fountain grass, roses etc, I love it inspires me for my own landscape. Its pretty amazing too because it's in zone 6b, and those Yuccas are huge, it looks like a warmer zone than it actually is. Pretty neat

I hope too make it down this spring/summer and get some more pics. I have also seen two big blooming ocotillo's somewhere there.TimMAz6 wrote:Hi Aaron,

The cyperus I thought was a redwood because of the cycad type of leaves, but then my wife pointed out the sign. They had a huge sequoia/redwood at a five point intersection there but must have removed it sence I lived over there. Sad if they cut it down, I guess they would have had too?

Here's another, I noticed all the landscapers say they are the first to plant truncking yuccas in the area.
I have even seen agave there and that was over 20 years ago.

That seems kinda crazy that agave are growing there and have been for 20 yrs. Though i imagine its a bit drier in the winter than where I live. That Cypress tree looks like a Pond Cypress, there are a few that are growing here on Southern Illinois University's Campus where I go to school growing near the campus lake and there are a bunch of Swamp Cypress there too, same species that dominates the everglades. They are fairly common here especially in the river bottoms the largest cypress swamp north of florida is in southern Illinois Cache river wetlands. Very neat place some of the tree's are abt 1,000 yrs old, only virgin forest left in Illinois. Also at my school there is a huge Dawn Red Wood tree thats about 80 yrs old, it was one of the first Dawn Redwoods to come into this country, im told.

blooming ocotillo's? WOW, please check on their status too........if they are alive that would be so great!!

The first agave I seen growing in Idaho was a parryii in Caldwell ID. I thought it was fake when I first seen it, but it kept gertting bigger.bgodwin1987 wrote:That seems kinda crazy that agave are growing there and have been for 20 yrs.

I really like the red woods and thier close cousins the bald cyperus. I think the tag said it was from louisiana (bald cyperus), but has been awhile. I do know they grow all the way north into southern Illinois.

I have only seen them once, they are by the college. They were big like 10-12 feet big not something they could move, so I guess they have been there awhile? I look for them everytime I get in that area. Maybe if I get lucky I can find them again. I wish someone from that area would get on this board.TimMAz6 wrote:blooming ocotillo's?

They have some in that sub I'm going to check out, but ocotillo can very so much in cold hardy. Depends where thier from.

I'm not sure? I would like too try some from the Mule Mts (Bisbee AZ), Florida Mts (Deming NM) and I just got one of e-bay from west Texas said too have survived -5f. I know it got down to -8f at my land in Texas and they have lots ocotillo in that area.TimMAz6 wrote:where do you think the hardiest Ocotillos are native too?
High Country Gardens has one for sale that is said to come from an area that gets about as cold as they come from NM. I tried it once but may have been too young? The one I have now is bigger and is going in a better spot.

Hi Aaron..................I may need to try an Ocotillo......................but we are wet...........probably a gonner in my climate but worth a test.

Tim I got mine from e-bay for 19.00 bucks I think. It's about 3ft tall not a bad price. This will be about the 3-4 time I have tried one. I have even grown a few from seed, grow faster than one might think.

I'm not sure, could have been wet feet in the winter? Even my seed grown plant died at temps that I thought simi-mild. I have not tried them in a better sand-gravel mix like I have now. I think I will have much better results now.TimMAz6 wrote:what killed your Ocotillos?
PS could have been that smaller plants are not as hardy.

Hi John
We are lucky too have such a cheap supply of plants here. Too bad there is not an open border policy on plants shipped from the US.

A couple of larger Y.rostrata
Was out today and brought my camera. Here are a couple of nice Y. rostrata 10 min drive from my house. The first one looks as though it had a little setback recently. http://www.flickr.com/photos/67364497@N07/6991112573/ The other one looks great. It also has some prickly pear cactus for some company. http://www.flickr.com/photos/67364497@N07/6991112581/ We need a ton of these planted here!

Wow, have never seen those anywhere in Kelowna.
Do you know if they were planted as youngsters, or only a year or two ago?
Wonder where they got 'em from if they were recent additions.
Gorgeous!

Wonder if Kelowna Flower Farm would bring some in...or maybe tell us the price first.

Barb he said he just happened to be lucky enough to be at a nursery that had them. Don`t know the name. I asked the flower farm to bring me six 10 gal Y.rostrata 4 years ago and ended up with Y. rigida as you know "not cheap!" Apparently "Blue beaked yucca" is up for mixed interpretation between nurseries.

Hey Aaron, that triple-header is A-1.
Beautiful size and condition.
The lowest rosette appears to have some light green growth, maybe from growing into the Fall.
It doesn't even look like it's seen any cold
Completely unfazed by winter.
I'm impressed.
Thanks!

I want to keep you inspired.
I was thinking that samething about the fall growth. The had some colder than normal weather for over a week. Cold -1F or colder at night and day time temps in the single digits and teens.

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.

Inspired?
I'm drooling over that Yucca.
Harden 'em up a bit so they're not pansies.
Or posies, or whatever the term is.

These plants look like there's no winter at all. How dry is that area in winter? It must be dry, since they look so good!

The yellow on the new growth, I would say is some damage to late fall growth. But I think it will be fine.

Barb,
have you ever grown any from seed?
In five years you can have a nice looking plant, and some test subjects.
