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.

Very pricey.
Looked good when it arrived:

Babied it for the first month, got scared of coming cold, dug it up very carefully to bring into the cold building.

A year later, it's a goner (from last winter):

Barb,
do you have a close up of the leaf cross section of that Yucca rostrata? It appears that rostrata may have been the Y. rostrata-rigida type. Rigida is only a zone 8 Yucca. Try a Y. thompsoniana which looks like rostrata but is even hardier than rostrata.

Tim, somebody else told me that a while ago too, but I forgot to rename the photo.
Since it's dead, you're right 😆 😆
I thought I had a closer pic than this but can't find it:

It was sad to lose this big two-headed beauty.
And Y.thompsoniana is on my wanted list.
Thanks!
Barb

😥 😥 What a beaut Aaron.
Seems we can't even trust the BIGnurseries to label/ID accurately.
One step up from calling it Tropical Foliage...
