Man, that's beautiful, Aaron.
Think yours and Jim's are the only glauca I've ever seen in flower.

I read the topic back to 2005 (wow, you old timer, you 8) ) and I agree with some work, almost any plant will trunk.
Lots of work since filamentosa have a one-track mind to suckering!

BTW, great rock wall...did you build it?
Great microclimate for the yuccas, providing considerable protection from cold winter winds.

Barb, Thanks for the kind words. 😀

The filamentosa I finaly took out of the ground, the trunk kept growing but fell over. I think the top may have died? But did good while it lasted. 🙂

The rock wall was later a stucco wall that I built, but later I took it out because I liked the look of just the stacked rock border. I put in things and then remove them later. It might take me forevewr to finish my garden. 😆

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.

great looking Yucca! Love the blooms. Do you know the location where that type was collected? The leaves seem somewhat wide and the blooms remind me of having some harrimaniae traits too. Great form!!

Thanks Tim.

I got it at a nusery, all it said on it was "blue yucca" Might have said glauca on the tag also. I Thought it was yucca rostrata at the time. I only knew rostrata as "blue yucca" I did not have good info back then. Glauca to me was plains yucca, Blue yucca was rostrata, and soap-tree was elata, etc... 😆

It does have a different form to it, it could have harrimaniae in it. I think I have some seeds still on the plant if anyone wants any? It is a very bushy plant and is very cold hardy. 😉 I have 2 more I grew from it's seed and both of them look just like the parent.
