Barb, I believe the "yours" is Y. gloriosa. But it doesn't matter.

gloriosa/recurvifolia... maybe. these two species are the same to me. they look the same from my point of view. 😀

How far you are from the Pula region? This is the only region of Croatia I visited two years ago...

oh, you have been here? nice! 😀 pula is at coast, i live near hungarian border,eastern croatia. it about 450 kilometers. in summer i like to go to makarska, its a small town in Dalmatia,our southern region (dubrovnik,split...).

that yucca is recurvifolia

Did yours trunk at a young age?
I've seen older ones that had no trunk at all.

Then I found this: wonderful tall trunk!

yes, i think in 2nd year it made some small trunk,now is 5 years old. last summer it started to sucker, but i cut all small ones,so that it dosent look like bush. maybe that one is a hybride with some species that do not trunk. who knows....

The gloriosa/recurvifolia do look very similar...
and hybrids might be common considering how prolific yuccas are when they flower.

Agree a trunking specimen looks better than a bush.
Is there a chance the cut suckers might root with some rooting hormone?
Might be worth a try

Barb, my "old" Recurvifolia died last spring so I've haven 4 or 5 suckers instead of it as well as a top of mature (died) plant rooted during the growing season.

I like Croatia very much! Lovely people, huge palms and the Nature! And the Architecture! And the Adriatic!

Igor, it'll be interesting to hear how that is doing.
It would be wonderful to get more plants that way.

Since I were there with my Lovely girlfriend the only seed has been raised from our Croatia trip is the Love that has been lasting for a while!

OK, got it, Igor 😉

But 3 glasses? 😆

all my gloriosa/recurva,3 plants, were cutings from older plants. i didnt use hormone,just stab it into the soil,and in less then a month they produce roots. also this methode is working with filamentosa. the best time to do that is spring or summer. so it has enough time to grow roots,before winter. here is often that in winter because of the wet snow,older gloriosa broke in winter if the trunk is not fat. at my neighbours garden few times that happened. he just takes the part which is broken and pit it in garage till spring and then put it in the ground and it make roots. the main plant often after that makes branches.

thanks! here are few pics from croatia

from Dubrovnik,very populare and beautiful place

damir, your reply is so very encouraging!

One more Q: what if a piece of the stem (wood) broke off with it?
Would you let that woody part "air dry" for a few days before sticking it in the soil?
Or stick it in the ground right away?

I thought the woody endhad to dry out first, form a callous, as with succulents (including jade tree).

Thanks for this interesting discussion!
Barb

Our posts crossed.

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL PICTURES !!!!
Oh what a gorgeous place, and those palms. WOW.

I'm mad I live so far north 50.25 N latitude 👿
