Jay,
How is your yucca elatas doing? The one I got from Maple leaf has grown well this summer. A small trunk has formed but I noticed that it has three trunks in total. Does yours have more than one trunk?

Wes, I got two from maple leaf and the first one is doing awesome and the second one isn't looking to good but i hope it will survive. They both have three or four seperate trunks. 🙂
Regards,
Jay
Hopefully your second elata starts to look better before winter. Keep me posted on how yours does. I will let you know how mine is doing throughout the winter.

It's starting to look better with more green so i hope it will make it through winter. 🙂
That's good news. Mine has no green colouring at all. Mine is a baby blue colour.
I'll keep you posted.

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.

Cool. 😀
At what temps does an elata freeze down to the ground?
I thought they were very hardy.
