Never germinated Yucca before.
Presume a two day soak?
Then into individual? or community pots?
how deep should pot be?

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
I have never soaked any yucca seed myself. I use community pots. I have really only used deep pots for elatas.

Thanks Jay.
Looking forward to trying these...a first for me.

I have only germinated Y. brevifolia and Y. filifera. I have used warm water soak 2 days. Then a community container with vermiculite until germination. After that I transplant them into a 1 litre pop bottle

You don't have to be crazy to grow palms in Alberta..... But it helps
Thanks for the tips.
And how many generations until they trunk? 😆 😆 😆

How young are your grandchildren?

Barb I would soak these for one day and then put them into ziplock bags between paper towels as 90 percent will germinate within a week. I say individual 1 gal pots each because your only delaying the inevitable separating a tangled mess of roots into individual pots anyway. IMO they will have healthier by not being disturbed as they will in a community pot.I never understood why community pots are used for plants for what will be a singular plant?

Allen,
Despite my old age (ha ha), I don't have any grandchildren.
Going to have to talk to my 30 year old daughter about her priorities 😆 😆
Thanks to everyone for their advice.
I'm completely new to yucca germination, and will try a bit of both methods because I won't have enough single pots.
So since no-one said how long it takes for them to trunk, I suppose I'll just put them in my WILL to you folks, ha ha.
