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.

That's one healthy looking yucca, nice tight branching.
Wonder how long the branches will get, sure looks healthy.
Is that purple plant behind it a purple loosestrife?
Nice color combo.

Bieng the dwarf form, they may only get about 8-10 feet high.

The purple plant in the back ground is a wild form of rockcress. It grows wild in the desert here. 😀 Thanks for the complement on the color combo Barb 😀

MY rockcress NEVER looked that good on its best day. I absolutely love the look of yours.
Nice that the colour doesn't look washed out (as mine did).

Please take some more pics as that yucca branches out. Very nice specimen.

Awesome looking yucca.
I have to see if it would make here and if it does I'll have to pick one up.

Aaron,
Is that two branches? or a third coming out the back?
That's a lot of growth in a short span.

Great art on the wall! 😀

Aaron,
Trunking is wonderful.
Branching is something I never expect to see (in my lifetime) 😆 😆
Thanks for the pics.

Barb
I bet you will see your little rostratas trunk and maybe even branch in your life time. 😀 I have grown almost all of my yuccas from seed, and they grow much faster than I thought they would. It takes about three to five years for them to start growing a trunk, but after that they realy take off. 😀
