Nice snow pics, hope the moisture doesn't hurt the A. Utahensis.

No, it's been through many winters, but winters I had it covered, but it has survived before without cover. 😀

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.

If anything is going to hurt it the moisture will. I think it's going to OK, it is the hardiest agave I have seen. 😉

Very nice pics, and amazing blooms. How many agaves survived the winter?

All of them. But they were all covered except my big hybrid. 😉

Love seeing the updates on your yuccas but I remember from an old post that you had 4 baccatas with awesome trunks but on this update I could only see 1 baccata with a trunk , is it the only one remaining from that group??
Thanks for sharing your pictures, always appreciated 🙂

Aaron: your neomexicanas look like giants compared to mine! 😯 It's due to high precipitation in my area, I guess.

You are right, there was 4 nice little trunks on the baccata, but over time they died one by one. This has been a learning experience for me. It kind of showed that yuccas do not like excessive trimming. I'm not against trimming, but not a big fan of it even though I do like the way it looks. In this case I had no choice but to try and trim because it was to close to the walk (moved the walk after I planted it.) I plan on moving that baccata later to a better spot. I think if that baccata was a form like what I have down in AZ I think the trimming would not have hurt it. Sense they a more up right leaf and seem to trunk on their own.
