Here is a small yucca Faxoniana. It has done very little since 2003, but is planted in a very dry spot.

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.

Hey everyone,
This a pic from a new member Kansas "Wes" He picked this nice yucca up for under $100. I think it is a Faxoniana, but not for sure. I think he spent his money well 😀

Nice one Aaron! Obviously a tough Yucca. I have two seed grown that are currently in one gallon pots. I reckon I'll try 'em out in the garden some day.

Cheers, Barrie.

Nice work guys.
No winter protection at all, Aaron?
Not even a cardboard box over it?

And look at Josef's !!!! gorgeous bloom.
So much for keeping the rosette dry, huh?

Josef....Very nice, that is awesome 8)

Barb,
I do cover it in the winter with clear plastic. When it starts getting a tighter crown (more leaves) than I will leave it be. 😀
