Yucca Queretaroensis... A beautiful yucca that is well sought after in Europe. Not moved much since planting 😕

This is the yucca I have seen sold in the US as linearifolia.

I bought one and it was not very hardy here. 🙂

I forgot too say nice yuccas!!! 8)

I am trying some Nolinas this year also. These are not trunked but small plants collected from seed by Nick Macer of Pan Global Plants germinated and grown on at his Nursery
Nolina Durangensis... Looks a beauty and ready to grow up nicely. The seed was collected at 2500mt on the puerto el Espinazo del Diablo on the border of Durango state.

Nolina Nelsoni ... Another beauty showing those curved juvenile leaves, the seed was collected at Tamaulipas, Mexico

Nolina Matapensis.... This is the star of the show for me... pure spikey and blue too 8)

Nolina Parvifolia.... The smallest of my Nolinas and will probably need extra protection Seed collected at 2400Mt at Puebla State.

Aaron... For me they are easily distinguishable as Linearifolia has flat wider leaves that do not break when bent, whereas Queretaroensis has square leaves Similar to Dasylirion Quadrangulatum that break easily when bent. I'm guessing this Yucca may be the most tender of the bunch.
Glad you like them 😀

Nice Yuccas, Love you little yucca garden they all look very healthy.

Sure they are easy too distinguish from each other, they don't look anything alike. But before I knew Y. linearifolia was just a thin leafed rostrata, and was shipped a Y. quadrangulatum. It took me awhile to understand why mine look different. Becuase as far as I knew (becuase I was shipped one that was miss labeled) Y. linearifolia had a four sided leaf. And thanks too you I now know what plant I had.
Until now I thought I had a Nolina or a Dasylirion sp. 😆

Awesome collection of yuccas-I bet Tim will enjoy seeing them.

Andy,
Those yucca photos took my breath away, especially the three-headed one.

One of my 6 yucca rostrata "sapphire skies" seedlings was two-headed.
Never grew as well as its siblings; finally succumbed this spring.

Andy, your pics made me speechless. What the specimens! And big money too! Please look after them as much as you can!

Andy,

Your nolina are looking good, I can't wait to see them in all their glory. 8)

And thanks for the identification help with the yucca. 😀

Thanks for all your kind comments... I will be roofing the whole area soon. Yesterday we had an enormous amount of rain that easily filled up 4 x50 gallon water butts. I desperately need Hardy jims heat to dry everything out 😯

roofing the whole area soon

I've considered that for my 15 acres. 😉

With your frequent rains Andy, what a great idea.
Please take pics of your project.

And right as I read this....the rains from Hurricane Isaac are just about on us. 😯

I have finally finished roofing my small yucca border. To be honest its been a nightmare and at nigh on 60 years of age not to be repeated 😆
I guess that its about 200 sq ft I've covered and not before time as although the soil is raised it is still saturated after all the rain we have had recently and more to come this week!!

I have a few palms to cover before the onset of Winter but compared to this project they'll be a walk in the park.
