Aaron, I'm gonna raise it from the seed, I guess, because they're sooo expensive here, plus don't wanna buy the ones kept inside greenhouse all year long. They have no chance surviving here.

May I repeat myself? They look gorgeous at your place! 😀

Thanks!

All mine are seed grown except one small one someone gave me, and it is not doing good. 🙂

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.

Where did you get the seeds from? Looking at your plants, the source must be worth recommending.

All over the place. 😆

The big plant with the long leaves and my oldest plant, came from a mail order seed from Southern California. Some seed I collected and some I got from seed that you get from gift shops in the southwest. I think these you can order on line?

Mesa garden sells them - location: Meadview, AZ, but according to them these are not fully hardy 🙂

If it is seed, it may be worth a try. I think also rarepalmseed.com sells seed.

My oldest and biggest comes from a place where you would not think of hardy j-trees coming from, so one might be as good as another?

I've planted mine out but bearing in mind that both of my Yucca Aloifolia standard and marginata lost their heads last Winter..... I am cautious but what the heck 😆

BTW it's the little yucca behind the Agave 😀

I kept it dry in one of those plastic mini greenhouses for the Winter.

I think I would have too move if I could not grow my j-trees, they might be the only thing keeping me here other than my wife, job, baby, family, house payment, etc...j/k 😆

Here's a night time pic for you Tim. 😀
