Yucca nana

Anyone ever grown Yucca nana? I got one in the mail today plated it in my cacti garden. They are cute little yuccas and look kinda rugged.

Nice!

Let me know if it dies, I have some I can't kill

Good I hope it doesn't die, is it invasive?

No, but the ones I have like to sucker, so I moved them and now they keep coming up from the roots. And I have pulled them many times.

Well I dunno how well it will do here. Mine is growing in sand in a raised bed so it should be easy to yank if it gets too out of hand.

I've tried 2 here, both rotted out over the winter. It has the typical western-type Yucca moisture tolerance.

Aww well im probably going to cover the whole bed with plastic because I have some Agaves in there too.

Aaron,

that is the best looking nana I have ever seen!!! What a nice fat trunk.

Y. nana does very poorly in my climate. It will slowly die over 3 to 4 years. I'm not sure why. It's not the cold......it must be our excess humidity since we are close to the ocean??

I have to dig up a few small suckers, I would gladly send you a few! I don't think you can kill these! My friend at the Denver BG has a big one there, looks almost like a small j-tree.

Looking awesome! This is the species I'm looking for but no luck here so far. Bought two pcs., but it turned out to be some gloriosa hybrids, despite what seller said.

Marceli, why haven't you tried the seeds? It works...

marceli · Post by **marceli** » Wed Oct 02, 2013 5:25 am

I don't know if there were no nana seeds in mesa garden last year or what

I need reliable source.

You are right. Last year I got my "nana" seeds from http://www.koehres-kaktus.de/, but there are no this yucca species at there either. Perhaps the trustable resources will have them later this year.

marceli · Post by **marceli** » Wed Oct 02, 2013 9:31 am

Igor, can you recommend them? I see there are plenty of yucca species!

igor.glukhovtsev · Post by **igor.glukhovtsev** » Fri Oct 04, 2013 9:08 am

Marceli, yes, I do recommend the kohres...
Please, check this source of the Yucca seeds as well: http://www.fhnavajo.com/yucca.html

Thank you very much my dear friends! These days I'm transplanting all my yucca-agave seedlings from 4,5'' pots into large containers (styrofoam box for vaccines transportation). Gonna post the pics once finish this "project"....

Hi Bgodwin....
I have started growing yucca in Alberta Canada and like some else said they grow like a weed and are indestructible.So far one of mine has survived - 35 C for a prolonged period! No protection
