Has anyone grown Yucca baccata from seed? If so what are your experiences. Do they grow slow and how hardy are they?
Regards,
Jay

I have not grown this one from seed because they sucker so fast, but they should start very easy if they are like most yucca seeds. Plant under 1/8 - 1/4 inch of dirt and keep soil moist almost wet at room temp. and they should come up in ten days or so.

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.

Sorry I did not answer all of the Q. They have been very hardy here in Idaho, and seem to grow moderate - fast, but slow to form a trunk. If they die wait for suckers, they will do even better! Most yuccas don't seem to do much in thier first five years of growth, but after that they pic up much speed and sould start growing a small trunk ( if a trunking sp.).

Hi Jay!
Did you grow your seedlings on your own? Did the seed sprout ok?

I grew them all from seed. I found that they sprouted really fast and easy. Haven't had any die either. 😀

Looking good. 😀 My seedlings probably won't be big enough to plant this season. Hopefully i can find some bigger ones. 🙂

How big will the trunk get on this species?
The flowers have short stalks on them compared to filamentosa.
Nice Yucca though.
