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.

Look at the difference in leaf color. The darker the leaves the more frost bite, you can almost tell what yuccas do better. My big j-tree does better every year, almost no darkening of the leaves, the smaller j-tree almost black in appearance. This was after -5f/-20C

Big j-tree

small j-tree

Great specimen. Love the color!

This year, following your example, I'm gonna buy some j-tree seeds for sure! 😆

Aaron since your climate is dry unlikely if your beautiful yucca plants will obtain any freeze damage. Take care! Love your garden/plants too!

Those pics, wow, sooooooo beautiful 😯

I can't imagine you leaving them behind when you move to your AZ place.
Bring in a backhoe that day.

I would take what I could. AZ has many strict plant laws and bringing plant into the state is almost always not allowed. 😡

So they have "border" checks? 😡

Sometimes, if you go through a border check station. I have never seen them say anything about my plants with tags, but if they see a bunch of dug up cactus, get braced 😯 😆

Yeah, because it might grow potatoes in AZ 😆

I simply could NOT leave those plants behind.
But you've got a few years yet to plan it. 😆

I've got 13 years, unless my evil plan goes off course. 😡

great looking plants Aaron! I wish they could take all our precipitation. 😥

Did you notice any damage on the Y. arkansana 'freemanii' x 'reverchonii-thompsoniana' hybrid? If any of the Yuccas I mailed you I think this MAY be the least hardy since the freemanii even gets damage here in mild zone 6b. Hopefully the other genes make it hardier.
