Jim, youve got to have the nicest yard in Iowa. Your efforts pay off nicely.

Really, Really nice Jim!! I second that comment!! Any frost in your future?? We have a frost warning here for night 🙁 I think I'll probably miss it at my place since I am so close to Lake Ontario..

DUDE!!! that flower is huge now.... and the nanners :shock Everything looks right good
Out of the palms you have, what would you say survived the winter best and recovered the fastest?
How did you germinate those spores??

To me besides the above mentioned this palm(which may just be Takil-to early to tell but different for sure)
has been amazing-here's a pic after winter and recently-

Excellent pics. Thanks for the idea of cutting the bottom leaves off of my Yuccas: I'm trying it.

cutting the bottom leaves off of my Yuccas:
Maybe they'll trunk sooner.
Would be a great trick.

Sure, it's done growing for this year, but maybe they will trunk sooner if they get light at the center.
We can hope.

No,I mean the center appears dead now since it flowered.
Someone on another forum said theirs grew branches out from
right under where it flowered-it would definitely be awesome if it kept going!

Maybe branches form the year after flowering?
I've seen tall specimens that branched, with no branches lower down.
Could be because in habitat, animals (?) no longer rub against/chew tall branches as the main stem continues to grow.

Yucca gloriosa grows reminicant of Yucca guatamalensis (sp) ( spinless yucca thats grown as a house plant). Not nearly as tall, but looks like a miniature version of it. Wish it was hardy here... How long has it been planted??
