I hope your plants will be ok. I feel your pain. 😉

I do remove the snow as much as I can from the Y. rostrata leaves since winter moisture is a problem.

I think the same way, I don't like snow on my yuccas. I have lost probably more yuccas to heavy snow than cold. 😐

I have my yuccas under an umbrella greenhouse with the sides open for the cool dry air. With all the heavy snow I am afriad the moisture will kill them.

That sounds like a good idea. 😀

Good to know what the choice should be.

collected a load of palm seeds from my trip to Miami

What type of palm tree was overhead/nearby?
It's soooooo hard to ID a seedling palm; even juveniles aren't easy.

Tuesday is Feb 1st...maybe that'll signal the end of winter? :director:
Hope so.

I got some 2004 photos of a couple greenhouses in my back yard without sides to them.........they didn't work with the wind.LOL Check out these photos. Notice my little Southern Magnolia.....how little it was back then.

OPPPPS...snow got in! LOL

Yucca rostrata buried in snow...LOL

In spring Yucca treculeana died where Yucca rostrata was good......low of -8F killed the Y. treculeana....funny part is that the leaves were still green in late February but it was in decline. The trunk died first.....not the leaves. The least hardiest part of the southwest trunking Yuccas is the trunk. I keep the old leaves on my trunks for added protection.

Hey Barb, I am, pretty sure there were some King Palms, Sabal minors, and a sabla palmetto...I'm soaking them now.

It should be easy to distinguish between those species...oh, in about 5 years from germinating. 😆 😆 😆

Good luck with them, post some pics when they're germinating please.
I'll show the pic to my seeds, maybe they'll pop from the shame 😉

I will, if I can get them to germinate. It appears some may have been sitting longer than others...We shall see....

Just came across these beauties today in my wanderings while off from school due to snow again...UGH!

Nice find Mike. They've been there for years now, a guy named Steve planted them and others all around that area over the years. I'm pretty sure they produced seeds last year.

Aren't they right by a bridge heading into Philly?

Steve lives in NJ and has a amazing property from what I'm told. I would really like to meet him this year.

Bill

The guy deserves credit for his planting splurge, extending palm beauty beyond his own place.

Maybe you can get some pics of his place if you meet.

Great pics for a gloomy overcast day here, Mike, thanks.
Good 'ole trachys...so reliable.

Do you know Steve from these boards??

Here is a pic of the exact location. It's on nature walk right over the Tacony Palmyra Bridge from Philly. Thought I'd go do a few trails today...The snow had other things in mind....LOL...Can't wait for this winter to be DONE!!

Not to much longer Mike 🙂

I'm guessing that's not a recent pic 😉

Thank you Mike for the overhead! I'll pm about these palms for sure 😆

Mike, do you mean the STEVE that answered my fertilizer question just yesterday?

That Steve?????

Surely not Steve in Kansas (obviously).
