Aaron, cool if you got some twisted leaves in some of your seedlings. Keep me updated on that trait. I find that sometimes hybrids have a twist in the leaves when young but after 3 years or so the twist is lost. Not sure what causes that.

Next time I run my fingers along the leaf edge I'll add some ketchup for some excitement. 😆

I will keep an eye on it over the next few years, I hope the twist stays. 😀

One of the 2 I have. Made it through the cold spell.

Hey Barb, the pic above was started from seed last winter. 😉

Holy Cow! Mines are much smaller! it means you planted this seedling in May or June and it has picked up since that time?!

Mines are much smaller!

Mine too...the fingers on my hand are longer.

It grew THAT much since last winter?
Sheesh.
Send me some soil.

Barb

Looking good Aaron. Keep us updated. I got seeds yesterdey from Tim. I've already put them soak in water overnight 8)

wow Aaron.........your seedling sure has 'U' shaped leaves................they seem more 'U' shaped than I recall when that size. Keep the updates on that baby! 😯

Here's a few updates on these:

Y. flaccida x 'reverchonii-thompsoniana' #1

Y. flaccida x 'reverchonii-thompsoniana' group #2

Y. filamentosa x 'reverchonii-thompsoniana'

Get that Euc away from that gorgeous Yucca 😆

Very nice, Tim.
Barb

nice eye Barb.............I planted many 1st year Eucs this season............only time will tell what survives. The Neglectas and Debe's seem to be unharmed while most others are toast or looking like they will brown out in a few more days. 😥

while most others are toast

And with your very mild winter this year, it's valuable research.
You'll know what's a sure thing.

Barb

yes I already know from 2000 to 2002 testing..........I guess I forget how hardy Eucs are.:wink: ........they aren't hardy!!

It was a treat to have some survive last winter (2nd mildest on record). This year will likely be in the top ten mildest..........Eucs have no chance with a 'normal' winter. 😆 Our long term average has about 25 days/season which fail to reach 32F (0C). This year we are at 9 days. The only 'normal' temp we had was the coldest high temp..........Providence hit 16F one day..........we generally dont' drop below 10F for a high temp that often...............living near the Ocean has it's benefits! 😉

Here's a few updates on these:

I forget what the other one looks like, I have it covered. I left one in the open and one covered.

I like the updates, good looking yuccas!

Tim, mine might be something different? I got the seed from you, could it be Y. rupicola x thompsoniana? My label faded in the sunlight.

Hi Aaron,

I don't have any Y. rupicola x thompsoniana............I wish I did!

I'm not sure which hybrid it is but I like yours with the 'U' shaped leaves. I guess we will be able to see more traits when it grows up a bit more...............can you read rupicola or thompsoniana on the label?

Hi Aaron,

I'm thinking I may have sent you a seedling of Y. rupicola x filata or Y. filata x rupicola.........that's why it's so large already. These are German Hybrids created by Michael Bechtold in 2009......I forget which way the cross was be I have records of it. Does this sound correct?

I checked my PMs and already deleted the PM relating to this. 😕
