Hi Aaron,
that Y. fax is huge.............if we didn't see the door I wouldn't have thought it was that tall. 😯
that Agave is HUGE too...........is that a matchbox car? 😆
that Washy is massive..........being high in elevation at that location may be better than the valleys since cold air won't pool. 😕

Yip...I was thinking the same thing! Looks like it did better than the big ones down in the canyon floor. 😉
Some places that winter reported lows as cold -10F I was watching the weather reports that day on weatherunderground. 😯

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.

Agave as big as a house!
Good one, Aaron.
That agave is a stunner.
re Bisbee palm.
How'd I miss that in my "travels"?
That guy has some age.
Agree the slopes are better than valley bottom where frost settles.

Looks like a dasylirion species, probably wheeleri? 😀
I think some of the dasylirions I seen with winter burn were other than wheeleri, I think they were Dasylirion longissimum.

Ah...a dasy.
Surprised it's so stubby, without a trunk.

I hope the next time I get down there I can get seed off one of these awesome agave.
May not be this year. 😡

2011 map view of El Paso,
Tim what yucca is this? (could be schottii?) So far this street is the only one I found with the 2011 date.

That Yucca sure looks like a Y. thompsoniana. Beautiful example, much bigger than others I have seen online:

Now I see what my posting the incorrect link does to this posting, Aaron.
Totally screws up the loading speed.
This is one of those rare instances you don't want to EMBED the picture.
Sorry.
