Sure, Adam, make me go to the cold building to count 'em 👿 😆

In the meantime, interested in whether you have any Y.schotti seedling for sale.

Off to go count the beggars...
Barb

PS--I'm sure with plant numbers you've got me beat.

In a few months, yes, Yucca schottii seedlings will be available in limited quantities as well as green aloifolia, elata, thopmsoniana, glauca and some brevifolia. The last four are two years old. Also, at the current rate, I will have many many Washintonia filifera seedlings this summer to trade.
Adam

It depends if you count seedlings or not. If you do, then I'm not counting! 😆

Cameron, that's funny 😆

Adam, please put my name on one of your Y. schotti seedlings.

OK here's my inventory (good to have anyway).
won't bore you with species.

Cold, barely heated building: 108
House: 27
Outside (planted): 8
Total 143

Basement (trying/germinating/popped): ~60

Barb

...but it has been so amazingly warm all winter that almost every potted plant is outside! 😀
Living room:
--potted, trunked Yucca rostrata I've just been too lazy to haul out
--Bizzy so big I don't want to haul it back in when it does get cold, but will probably go out tomorrow as the long term forecast is to stay freaky warm
--small pots with Hamelia patens, an orchid (can't remember which), a colossal Ficus benjamina that will need help to go outside for the summer when I know for sure it will stay warm
Upstairs:
--three bottle palms
--smallish Chameadorea geonoformis palm
--foxtail palm
--triangle palm
--a cactus in my son's room

That's it! Everything else, even seedlings, is outside. Crazy. After the past 52 weeks of record heat, maybe even Sen. Inhofe will admit to ... 😳

NIce idea to count plants in my house area. I will have to do it in my spare time. But the result I will have to turn into the secret for my wife I think 🙂

Oh no....... You had to make me go and take a rough count ...

Right now I have 14 trachy seedlings, 8 washy seedlings, 10 pots of pawpaw (ungerminated), 7 pots of bamboo seedlings, another 20 pots of seedlings (Another 300 to go), roughly 120 houseplants, and about, 10 things that are inside for the winter (bananas, colocasia, a datura, passiflora, etc).

Godfryd, I hear you. I won't tell my wife how many I have either.
Ok Barb, you're first on the list.
Good lists folks!
Adam

I got ZERO plants in the house...............YUP.............none, zip, nadda. Some in the garage.

Adam............yes........Yucca schottii is a super fast grower. Yucca schottii is the 3rd row up from the bottom........these seedlings were germed in May and this photo was taken at the end of summer the same season. Get Yuccas in the ground and they grow even faster! PS......now I'm thinking those big ones were similar to schottii but may have been Y. baccata v thornberi. I'll have to check my notes........from year 2000.

Love that pic, Tim!
Yes I also heard that yucca grow fast in the ground and slower each year if they're in a pot.

Re Y. schotti, is it true that it forms a trunk earlier than any other yucca?

Those yuccas grew to that size in ONE summer???? :occasion5:

So far, it's Adam with 250 :king:

Hey Barb,

yes all those seedlings were likely 5 months old................get Yuccas in the ground and they take off. Yucca schottii does grow fast but trunking action takes years. Here's mine that I germed in 2000 or 2001:

2005 (NOT THE ONE IN THE POT.......THAT'S A NOLINA NELSONII)

another Y. schottii in the garden also died that winter:

FAST SOUTHWEST TRUNKER IS YUCCA ELATA..........it's a beast......seed grown same time as Yucca schottii.

Everyone, I was hoping to tell my wife that many other people have 250 plants in and around their house. Plants that aren't necessarily for our garden. But maybe I am mistaken.. and I may have a few too many plants. I do sell some on eBay in season.. and will trade with those interested!

Tim, those are some great schottii pics. I swear mine are growing straight up at only the sixth and seventh leaf!
Barb, I am not sure if it is the earliest trunker, but of all my seedlings... 23 Yucca species, I have never seen another grow like it. Pics soon.

Adam

Wow, Tim, fabulous pics, except watching the Y.schotti die.
So much for trunking quickly, huh?
I thought they meant in 2 years... 😥

And the nolina is stunning.

But I'd better change my Y.schotti order to a Y.elata.
Proof is in the pictures.
Thanks Tim.

Yes, Adam, time for some pics please.
And since you sell/trade, 250 isn't too many. 😀

Barb

I have countless number of plants outside and about 250 plants inside including my Mom's 150 plus senpolias.
