Yucca collection, NW Croatia zone 7b

Yucca gloriosa/recurvifolia (probably recurvifolia)

Yucca rostrata, first year in ground

Yucca elata (Mesa Garden 1993.64-elata DJF1341 /17/ Franklin Mts TX, thatched trunked tree).

Yucca elata (unknown origin)

Yucca thompsoniana (Mesa Garden 2001.34-thompsoniana /17/ n Alpine, Tx, yellow edged leaf)

Yucca aloifolia (hybrid?). This one frosted to the ground last winter. Now is moved to a new position, I hope better one.

Same yucca year ago



and after last cold winter

Yucca carnerosana (Mesa Garden 1982.93-carnerosana /17/ Sra Parras, Coah, huge rosette)

Yucca filamentosa

Yucca filamentosa (flowered this summer) and Yucca recurvifolia

Yucca filamentosa

Also I have in community pots Yucca arizonica (Mesa Garden 1979.9-arizonica /17/ Nogales, AZ, clumps, short trunks), Yucca brevifolia v. jaegeriana (MG 1982.9-brevifolia v jaegeriana Meadview, AZ, lower, bushier), Yucca rupicola (MG 1999.5-rupicola /17/ Ozona, Tx, soft yellow-green leaf, small) and Yucca torreyi (MG 2001.6-torreyi Redford, TX, narrow dagger-leaf, short tree).

I would like to try in my zone in future with Yucca nana, Yucca palida, Yucca angustissima, Yucca arkansana, Yucca campestris, Yucca cernua, Yucca linearifolia, Yucca rigida, and some hybrids.

Stunning variety, Henoh! 😀

You're fortunate to live in a 7B where you have a good chance at all yuccas on your list surviving.

Great that the young elata beside the newly located aloifolia came through your awful winter totally unscathed.

Your yucca variegated gloriosa is going to bloom now?
I think that's what mine is...I first thought mine was an agave 😆 because of the lethal tips.

Thanks!
Barb

Very nice collection,hope it stays warm enough for you to enjoy the Gloriosa flowers 😀

Henoh, please take a guess at what mine is.
Could it be a y.gloriosa variegated, as in your first picture?

Great photos, Henoh!

A good collection of hardy Yuccas. I like the Rostrata which has a good mophead 😀 Are all of your Yuccas seed grown or do you buy plants? Lets hope you (and me) don't get another Siberian blast this Winter. Fortunately? my low was only -11C.

Awesome yuccas! Keep us posted over the winter. 😀

Thank you all!

@Barb, it could be a form of Yucca gloriosa 'Variegata' but I'm confused with thickness of leaves, and big spines. Maybe Tim Beham can help with identification.

@andym, half of them is seed grown, mostly from Mesa Garden, and Y, gloriosa, Y. gloriosa 'Variegata', Y. recurvifolia, Y. filamentosa/flaccida, Y. filamentosa 'bright edge', Y. rostrata originated from local nurseries. Winter minimum was about -18C and freezing temperatures (with daily maximum below zero Celsius) lasted almost two weeks .

Some have taken a stab at its ID, here:

http://palmsnorth.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4639&highlight=agave

might be a Furcraea as Aaron suggests in that post.
Or an Agave Sissilana because of its deadly terminal spine?
Tim hasn't logged a guess yet.

Barb

great Yuccas everyone!

Henoh, let us know how Y. carnerosana grows for you.........very slow in my climate and will die back in cold winters.

Barb, did you photoshop that variegated Yucca? It's a beauty. It's not the standard form of Y. gloriosa variegata. Your colors are much brighter (and better looking too)! I'm not sure of the ID.....never seen that form before. It's kinda close to a variegated 'tiny star' gloriosa but I don't think yours is a tiny star. Tiny star is small too....yours looks larger. I'll post your Yucca on the German Yucca board......I'm sure someone can ID. There are a few Yucca collectors on that board who collect variegated Yuccas.

Tim

photoshop

I'd have to get a 6 year old to show me how 😆

Sorry to hitch-hike on your thread, Henoh, but I thought mine was like yours.

Thanks Tim for the offer to help ID mine.
And I've got a couple of pups... 😀 spiny little buggers already.

Barb

Hi Barb,

I just noticed your link...........that root ''thing-e' sure looks 'Agave-type-ish'. Keep us posted.

Tim

Barb,

do you have this outside with no protection?

outside with no protection?

No, I chickened out and dug it up again. 😐

It's in a pot in the cold building.
Same with its 2 pups.
