Yucca carnerosana protection temperature difference – Page 3 – Anything Yucca – PalmsNorth.com

TimMAz6 · 2013-01-01T21:34:54Z

I placed a in/out temperature probe at my Yucca carnerosana. It appears the protection is providing a extra 1/2 zone in temperature increase. The protection is 2 layers of 4 mil plastic sheeting with a string of small christmas lights.Overall protection:Temperature difference at 5pm:Temperature difference at 9pm:Temperature at local school at 9pm:The local school is reading the same temperature as my probe so I guess I can rely on the school's temperatures!

Winter...what winter, looks like a keeper!

The the yuccas that did the worst for me this past winter were Y. faxon even the new "hardy" (covered) one I got from High Country Gardens, Hesperaloe parviflora, and the third most damaged Y. elata (younger ones). 😕

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.

Looks great Tim.....it will spread out now though and make it tough to get into protection next year
as I am sure you know-will this one become hardier with age so you only need a top cover?

BTW-
We have been in the 70s the last few days(76F yesterday) and .70" of rain,I can see the biggest
Trachy has already grown a few inches from where I marked it!

Hi Tim.... it looks to have pulled through ok with some damaged outer leaves. 😀 One thing that has puzzled me is why you chose Carnerosana instead of Faxoniana which is more frost tolerant or maybe that was the reason 😉
I could of course be completely ga ga not knowing you have one but you have so many Yuccas I get confused 😆

Jim..........yes.......a top cover 'should' do the trick during winter. A dry Yucca in winter is a happy Yucca 😀

Aaron........the fat leaf Yucca to the left of the carnerosana is Y. cernua. It's like a wide leaf pallida which actually grows in our climate! 😆 Y. pallida is not that happy in our climate........need a higher pH? I did purchase a bag of lime already for the Yucca bed. I'll have to buy a few more bags this season.......lets see if there will be an improvement??
