Very pretty specimen, Jim, and amazing growth once again.
Good it didn't lose a head from the GH collapse.
What fert do you use on your yuccas?

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.

Jim- Great growth on that sucker! How cold has it taken for you? I killed one over a 2 year period a while ago! It was beautiful while it lasted!

I threw some 10-10-10 down last year,I think.

These are a variegated form of Y.Aloifolia.

Everything in the Cactus bed(hoop-house)has
seen at least single digits (F)every winter.
So mild this year(and because I added 1" bubble wrap to the cover)
that it hasn't been below 23F the whole month inside the hoop-house.

Yeeha
I know the one you mean.....
it's to small to sit in now as it is built smaller to conserve power.
The layer of 1" bubble wrap and 2 layers of plastic helped
temps to stay in the low 20s with only one 750wt space heater
on while the outside temp was 2F.
