Wow Aaron!

I don't ever write anything on the desert stuff, since I have no clue about it. Your Joshua Tree's have really grow since 2005 though. Looking good, I bet they are getting nice and hardened off now that the roots are dug in nicely.

Nice Work!

Bill

Thanks!
They are very hardy and by far the fast growing yucca I have. 😀

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.

I planted a seed grown one a week and a half ago. It's only about 6" tall.
First time for this one as I've never tried it before.

Happened last year too.

Can't see any aphids or anything else they could be after.
Anybody know what the attraction is?

Notice they're all "head down" in the leaf axis. or is it axises? 😆

Was this plant inside during the winter? Sometimes spider-mites or mealy-bugs get on yuccas during the winter?

Yes it was in the garage, Aaron.
Good point.

Probably fungus gnats then.

Good beetles...(pat, pat, pat) eat away, then come inside to the smorgasbord.

The H is really miffed about fungus gnats flying up his nose while he's eating breakfast 😆 😆

Oh, Aaron, those are so very beautiful....(sound of my jaw hitting the floor!!!)
And look at that trunk diameter! wow.

That first picture with the frost on the bluish leaves with the desert backdrop is stunning.

Well done, lad.

Amazing! I'm sooo jealous! I might just have to try brevifoia again...

I'm still expecting pollen if those beauties bloom!

No problem, if it ever blooms. 😉
