great news! That Yucca will become a beauty!
I would rather suggest digging it up and hold this plant in cool and dry conditions indoor for the winter. Unlikely if it will have enough vital force for surviving another cold winter.

Thanks for the idea, but they are not good at transplanting. Plus I think it is to heavy for me to move. 😉

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.

Thanks Tim,
It should be cool again in a couple of years, it has about 5-6 new heads. 😀

It has 11 new heads and is growing fast, I hope they harden off before a freeze.

Yes, I saw that on your blog...(but couldn't remember my Google p/word to leave a comment 😕 😕 ).
How exciting...11 crowns, wow.
That's one tough specimen.
Congrats!

Great shots, DesertZone! Would you try separating one and growing it inside over the winter?

I have never had any luck with j-tree suckers without a root, but I have a new plant comming from that same plants roots and will be easy to cover this year just in case the big one gets it. 😀

Thanks Barb,
It has been a very good yucca. 😀
PS I still think the other that died would still be here if I did not water it so late into the year. The only other two yuccas I had that did not come back was the Y. torry and another j-tree planted by the new grass/lawn also.

Nice!
Maybe the new guys sprouting out will be tougher!

Either way...4 heads are better than one.
Unless it's one of Barbs! :bootyshake:

i am very glad that your j-tree is alive!! my favorite yucca. from my experience it can be treated with root hormone and you can make new ones. take the cuttings of this tree and put the bottom of the cutting in the hormone and more on the trunk of the cutting,place it in the soil, low moist, good drainage, and in less of a month you will have new j-trees. good luck. just place them in a shade , not in full sun position .

Thanks for the info, I might try that in the spring. So close to winter I dont want to stress the plant.
Good idea. 😉

Aaron congrats on your J-tree regrowing for you! It`s pretty tough to kill them. I`ve had seedlings come back from the dead sprouting new shoots. I`ve got a 3 gal. planted this year. It will be under protection for the first couple of years. One day it might be as big as the one you have 8)
