I was watering my newly planted y. rostrata`s 3 gal. and noticed that there was a two header Y.rostrata.I googled two head Y. rostrata and the #1 hit came up with our site and Aaron`s pics. So here are some pics of some Y.rostrata small 3 gal. I hope they the grow as good as previous Aaron`s pics in Idaho.Two separate plants?

Those look good John, can't wait to see them grow over the years. 😀

I can see that mine are looking worse as the weather warms. 😡 These pics are from march.
my best rostrata

and my #2

They look bad but sure they will pull through. 😉

Here is a pic of rostrata #2 in April, looking worse and has some rot on smaller crown.

And just so people can see how damaging that early cold spell was, a pic of filimentosa in march and now in April.

March

April

Aaron I hope they make it. Did you use any protection? I`m going to protect mine till they get a little older.

John

Aaron I hope they make it. Did you use any protection? I`m going to protect mine till they get a little older.

John

I did not give them any protection, but they both should pull through if we get some warmer weather. 😀

Interesting how a plant will look good all winter then by late spring look like crap.

Then there are some palms that take 2 years to die... 😡
Hope your stuff bounces back like crazy, Aaron.
They're such nice specimens.

John, those look great there!
What a great planting site.

I've got a 2-headed yucca rostrata too (one of 4 planted out last month).
Doesn't look as strong as the others.
I also wondered whether it was two plants when I got my order, but seemed to be one plant.
Here it is today:

Here are the other three that look like they're taking off:

I watered them all with compost "sludge" last week.

Looking good Barb. Interesting red leaf bases to a couple of your Y. rostrata. I looked at mine a little closer and no red on them. Must be a little different species than mine. Should be interesting to see all them progress this year.

John

Yes, the red is most distinctive on the two-headed one, although the others have a hint of it too.

Remember what they looked like when I got them from PDN in North Carolina?
Jim quipped that they had packed red wiggler worms into the roots. 😆 😆

The two-header is 4th from left, definitely smaller than the rest.
But it's clear that it is one plant.

Yours are way ahead of mine...bet they're all waiting for real heat to happen. 🙄

Barb

Those look real nice Barb. 😀

Thanks Aaron.

I've got them covered again today...rain and snow!
Barely above freezing at noon 👿

Maybe we should buy ice plants 😆
Barb

Barb snow? Hailed here a bit and rain, then sun. Spring weather here subject change wait 10 minutes.

John

John, I bet we're 200 feet higher in elevation than you.
Plus 35 miles North too.
Wanna trade?

It snowed until nearly noon, the place was white, all melted by 1 pm.

The air--around me anyway--was blue 😈

Barb

My best rostrata.

Aaron, it looks great and gives me hope for rostratas in my climate zone, but I need to protect them, 'cus we have lots of precipitation, unlike you I guess. But the seeds got to be from some very cold area to make this work in my area 8)
