To me they looked more like Dreceana then Yucca. Id love to know the species, and give em a try up here ( im pretty sure you were thinking the same thing lol)

They are a more soft leaved Yucca so the leaves droop more but they look almost exactly like the
type you see all over in yards up well into Canada.

Here's another pic of this variety-you can see the trunk if you look closely-

O'damn, now look at those babies,why didn't I snatch some? 😈

As far as I know, the most common one ive seen is Yucca Filamentosa (sp). I dont know to much about them, paulont knows more as far as I knwo.

Lasiocarpa are cool. I think i might have one. I mixed up the pots 👿 Looks healthy there.... Im waitin on some red torch ginger to sprout too...

Great pics once again dude
