I have never had a beetle attack any of my yuccas that I have seen with my own eyes. I have seen mice, rabbits, and grasshoppers eat them, but mostly when they are small. Rabbits seem to do the most damage and ants don't seem to hurt them. 😀

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.

I'm going to keep them in pots off the ground for the first while to see what they attract/what nibbles on them.

Fortunately the rabbit problem of the city nearby hasn't yet spread to my area...must be the coyotes 😉

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

How big exactly is a double gulp? They look like the perfect containers. 😀

Aaron, they're just shy of 10 inches tall...perfect for seedlings that need narrow/tall pots.

The 1.8 litre size = approx. half a U.S. gallon.

Had to buy them (@ 80 cents each) from the local 7/11 store.

Made of really strong plastic which didn't crack when I "drilled" a drain hole in the bottom with scissors.
