Washys-still looking good after 19-22F this morning-picture is from 10/3-2011

Hard year for the Abyssinian,by the time the heat went away it was already to dry-

still,about 13' tall

Variegated Yucca Aloifolia

T.Takil

Castors reached about 13' 🙂

This stuff-

Nice picture of a Takil

Thai giant before it was struck down by high winds(mid July),

Re Abyssinian...do you rely solely on rainfall for watering?
You did say it barely rained at all but I thought you supplemented with hand watering/sprinkler?

That cactus bed's plants are maturing so nicely, look at that agave!
very nice.

Love the Washies.
They'll need more than a fence next winter, Jim.

Thanks for the pics.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Are those Alocasia infront of the brigs/albyssian?

And where is that Phyllostachys hiding? 😀

Yes,Igor they change color from light/darker as they age from top to bottom.

Thanks! I've heard about it. Any seeds have been ripened by the chance?

Jim, that's true Iowa's Treasure.
Have you always overwintered Washys otdoors?
Do you dig abyssinian and eleph ears and that tall cereus from the ground?
Great regards,
Antti

I leave that one(Cereus Peruvianus)in the ground until about the low 20s.

It grows about a foot per year.
