Brevifolia should do good for you! I tried to fix your pic, but about as good as I could do.

Keep us posted on cactus/yuccas in your area. 😀

PS, nice Yucca rostrata 8)

Check out my web page or you will hate yourself later! j/k

Beautiful plants man!

I've got Brevifolia Var. Jager seeds coming but does anyone know where to buy a 1-3 ft. tall plant? I can't find them anywhere.

Why aren't they more readily available; there just isn't a demand for them or what?

Good luck Mlobato You should not have too much trouble growing trunked Yuccas in a zone 7a climate. Regarding Yucca Brevifolia.. we do not get trunked specimens in Europe, they don't ship well. This is one particular Yucca that only enjoys its own natural environment only
The best specimen I have found was from this French nursery where I bought some recent Yuccas I posted on here http://www.achat-vente-palmiers.com/en/yucca/440-yucca-brevifolia.html#.U3PqHUlwaM8
Looks a nice specimen but I know deep down its a waste of €35.... that said my minute specimen is still alive despite being stood on 8)

It does seem like j-trees are hard to find of any size, which is weird because they grow fairly fast from seed. 😕

Mike, you've planted my fav yucca, the Sapphire Skies.

Welcome aboard PN.

Well I planted all my seeds last Tuesday so well see!

I planted brevifolia var. jageriana, rostrata, and agave parryi. Ill keep ya posted on their status.

From what I've gathered, I can expect to see seedlings in about 3 to 4 weeks and possibly longer... ❓

I saw that High Country Gardens has j-trees, but I'm sure they are very small.

So my rostrata is doing great out front and we have had snow and cold as well.

As for the seeds I planted, I was unsuccessful in getting any of them to germinate. Not sure if they were good/bad seeds or I did something wrong?

I planted them in seedling trays, barely covered with soil, and covered with plastic.

My guess is they were too wet/cold. I am going to try a "germination station" so they soil temperature can increase to around upper 70's and I will not keep them wet; only moist. Should work. Any yucca germination advice is appreciated.

I will move all future seed posts to the 'germination' thread...

Not sure if they were good/bad seeds or I did something wrong?

Generally procedure is at fault (versus seed quality).

I haven't germinated many yuccas, but the ones that made it popped during winter next to the wood stove in the basement; warm concrete floor under seed pots.

Wet/cold seldom germinates anything.

They are so easy, plant seed, cover with about 1/4 inch of soil, keep damp, keep in window. Seeds should pop 3-10 days. I have done it in a place that was only about 60f inside. 😀

Here is the Rostrata I planted last year; it seems to be doing well. Finally a decent picture.
