Hey Aaron, that triple-header is A-1.
Beautiful size and condition.

The lowest rosette appears to have some light green growth, maybe from growing into the Fall.

It doesn't even look like it's seen any cold 😆
Completely unfazed by winter.
I'm impressed.

Thanks!
Barb

Your welcome.
I want to keep you inspired. 😀

I was thinking that samething about the fall growth. The had some colder than normal weather for over a week. Cold -1F or colder at night and day time temps in the single digits and teens.

Inspired?
I'm drooling over that Yucca.

I may go outside and rip the plastic cover off my 3 rostratas.
Harden 'em up a bit so they're not pansies.
Or posies, or whatever the term is. 😆

These plants look like there's no winter at all. How dry is that area in winter? It must be dry, since they look so good!

They recieve about 12-14inches a year.

The yellow on the new growth, I would say is some damage to late fall growth. But I think it will be fine.

Just another view. 😀

It obviously doesn't mind car exhaust either.

Love the neat work on the leaf bases!

Barb,
have you ever grown any from seed?

In five years you can have a nice looking plant, and some test subjects. 🙂

Yup, but only one is still on this side of the soil.

Five years, huh?
This guy was started in 2009... 😆 😆

I know...I know.... 😆 gotta get the hang of growing these things.

So he's got one more year to impress me. :blackeye:

oops...Seems he was started 5 years ago...found this pic DATED 2008:
No idea what happened to his brother.

My bad, yuccas planted outside in good locations and good soil can become a nice plant and may even start to form a small trunk, depending on the sp. 😆

Yuccas left in pots for long periods will almost always stop growing. Atleast the sp. I have grown. I don't know why. 😕

My yucca I started this winter is bigger than the one in the top pic. 😐

Many yuccas you buy from mail order may only be a year old when you recieve them. The yuccas you have outside are how old?

The y.rostrata (2 winters in the ground) were bought in 2008, same year I started the little guy from seed.

Yuccas left in pots for long periods will almost always stop growing.

Yeah, I've heard that too.

But I have another PDN rostrata that's planted in total gravel (yup!) in a tall garbage can and it's the same size as my outside yuccas.
Size of container is obviously a limiting factor.

He's got to be planted this year...

I knew it was ME! and not the soil or container or cold 😆

Size does make a difference, that is a nice looking yucca! So it is about 5/6 years old and looks good! Should not be much longer before the take off. Unless they are jinxed. 🙄 😆

That garbage can filled with gravel weighs about 100 pounds.

We'll see how long the root is when I plant it out.
(a) 2 inches, or
(b) 2 feet

😆

I have the same problem Aaron.............Yuccas in containers stop growing pretty fast..........they seem to love root tip growth. I try to get seedlings into the garden asap..........most seem to look mature after 3 seasons.
