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.

Looking forward to Josef's opinion on cold hardiness.
In the meantime, a good site on Y.rostrata / rigida / etc winter hardiness:

Hi Barb
Cold hardiness cross rostrata x rigida is better/and nicely/ that rigida/-12C to-15C/,I think about -15C-18C.
Last year 3 weeks cold period with low 9C without protection no problem/no fully rooted !!/

Josef,
That is good to know.
One more question: what fertilizer do you use and when?
Grateful for your input and photos of your superb specimens.
Thank you.
Barb

Hello Barb.
Not fertilize few years,when not fully rooted.
Regards
Josef

Josef,
How long until fully rooted?
I read (somewhere?) a good yucca fertilizer is 3-1-2 once a month.
Or 19-6-12 for 3 months.
Josef, you're the yucca and agave "master". 🙂
I will wait until fully rooted.
Thanks for the advice.
Barb
