Here's a recent photo of a Yucca filamentosa x rostrata hybrid (seed from Benny of Denmark). Great.....I mean great hybrid. It looks good year round.

Tim that's a beauty.
Certainly seems to have more rostrata genes than filamentosa.

Color is also closer to Y. rostrata. Will it form trunk in future?

That is a fantastic plant! I sound like a broken record, but the F2 from that cross will be very interesting!

I'm not sure if this hybrid will form a trunk....I hope so. It grows so well here it's amazing.....F2's will be nice to try too!

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.

Tim- How many of the filatas are trunk forming?

Hi Paul
I have 6 seed grown filatas. #3 formed a trunk after its first bloom but the trunk died after its second bloom. #5 bloomed last season for the first time and is now forming a trunk with no other suckers. All other filatas are not trunk forming. Only time will tell if #5 will continue to trunk after its next bloom. Perhaps the reverse hybrid (elata x filamentosa) will produce trunkers?

Nice when a hybrid gives you the best traits of both.
Really lovely!

I hope these Y. filamentosa x rostrata hybrids trunk and don't produce offshoots.......only time will tell. ❓

trunk and don't produce offshoots
50/50 chance?
That'd be good to know.

I'm disappointed with Yucca filametosa x elata hybrids. I have 6 different plants and only 1 appears to be trunk forming. Hopefully it will continue to trunk after it's second bloom.

Obviously filamentosa is the boss. 😥
It'll be good to watch the one that is trunking.
