I guess maybe 20-30 years? The one reached as high as the wires 🙂 If I get a chance I will mail you one as a gift maybe two? 🙂

I'd love to have one in my desert. Unfortunately they won't survive here

Hey Aaron, That would be awesome if you get a chance. 😀

Sure thing Jay. 🙂

Allen...how cold does it get there in f.

Cool thanks. 😀 If your looking for any specific plants or seeds let me know and i will see what i can do. 🙂

We get down to -25 F for 1-3 days in a row at least once per winter. We get colder temperatures to -35 F every now and then. It used to happen every 2nd winter but it hasn't been that cold in the last 5 years. We also used to get a foot of snow before xmas and have it stay for the winter and insulate root systems. We haven't had full snow cover in 4 years. Last winter I lost 50% of my perennial alyssium, 2/3 of my perennial rudebeckia and daisies as a result of the constant freeze/ thaw with no snow cover and occasional -20F.

Nurseries used to guarantee zone 2 & 3 hardy perennials/shrubs for 1 year. Last year they cut their guarantee back to 3 months.

If I can keep mulch or snow on them, I can grow most Zone 4 as well as some Zone 5 & 6 perennials and small shrubs.

Awesome yucca but not one for my climate either. We are just to wet for it here.

Aaron those Joshuas look great. I have 20 seedlings started and will be planting them in about 2 years. If they can survive there and also in your part of the state,gives me great hope they will survive here as well. We get about 12 inches of precipitation a year "semi desert" zone 6b 7a.

Should live just fine in that zone 😀
