A Few yucca 2 year seedlings

Oh, yes, I tried the Tim's recurvifolia 'tennessee' x reverchonii-tompsoniana, filamentosa 'tennessee' x reverchonii-tompsoniana and flaccida 'tennessee' x reverchonii-tompsoniana... seeds to germinate. Perhaps I have a few of these two last hybrids.
The "nana complex" seedlings look different.... I have some which started off-springing in one month age. Unfortunately the most of my seedlings sit in the pots and grow very slow. Still have no enough spare land for making the succulent bed.
All the seedlings overwintered last winter indoor (a lot of sun and 10-15 C). This winter most of them goes to unheated GH (from minus 10C to plus 5 C for period of 3 month).
No one of my yucca seedlings has been overwintered outside yet. The coming one will show a result.

Igor .... a great collection of yuccas especially that "Nana" Is that a dasylirion you have also? Looks like Miquihuanensis?

Thanks Andy! I should take picture of all my yucca, agave, dasylirion and hesperaloe seedlings. The Dasylirion you asked about is supposed to be wheeleri . At least it was the Dutch labeled "Wheeleri". But last year I saw the wheeleri in Texas and those were looking different (more grayish I would say). Aaron knows exactly what is a true wheeleri... 😆

Igor, I love that 'nana'. Looks to me more like a baccata (banana yucca). Or even better a cross, Yucca baccata x nana, which I would call Yucca 'Ba-nana'! 🙂

What I have found at one european forum (Yucca nana "San Juan Co Utah 2012m", da bin ich mal gespannt.):

there are a few different hybrids with the 'rever-thomp' pollen. There is a 'flaccida Tenn.' and a 'filamentosa Tenn.'. They are different plants. The 'flaccida Tenn.' has MASSIVE blooms in my garden.....the largest in my garden. Benny is correct.....this 'flaccida Tenn.' was sent to me as a recurvifolia back in 2003 but it appears to be a form of flaccida in my opinion (no trunks).

Here's a photo showing the blooms of flaccida 'tenn' (on right).....the blooms on the left are constricta x filamentosa

Tim, it's an outstanding inflorescence this Yucca have. It must be the only Yucca bloom which can make you Yucca constricta x filamentosa flowers look smaller in size.

Here is a photo of one of my "Behan hybrid" Yucca flaccida "Tennessee Mountains" x (reverschonii x thompsoniana)

It were sown in 2010, and is planted inside the unheated greenhouse, probably in 2011. There will certainly some difficulties, when this plant in time decide to bloom, if any genes from the huge size of the inflorescence is inherited in the hybrid. The leaves has a very beautiful dark green color with tint of a blue "glow". I would not be surprised, if this hybrid will become one of my favorites, as it grows larger.

Hi Benny,

I crossed Y. 'constricta x filamentosa' x filata and the bloom height was not as tall as 'constricta x filamentosa'. Perhaps when the 'constricta x filamentosa' is the pollen donor the bloom heights will be taller??

Your Y. flaccida x 'reverchonii-thompsoniana' looks very similar to the ones I have. I have three different seed grown plants and all have slight differences in their growth habits. It's nice to see variations between seedlings. All have a strong influence to rigid type leaves from the reverchonii-thompsoniana but less rigid than the pollen donor plant.

Andy, so sorry for "ignoring" your question. This dasylirion is supposed to be whelleri. At least it was labeled as the such. In fact it has green foliage. So I don't really know... I'm confused a little bit.
