Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Doing good, little burn

Aaron, sorry missed this.
That A.parryi certainly did well last winter with only plastic over it.
Forgot what you said your absolute low was.
Bonus that it's also the best looking Agave!

I'm going to put plastic over all of them but the hybrid. It seems to be doing well enough and is bigger than it looks. So far it is the most hardy agave I have had in my garden. I hope winter is kind to it.BILL MA wrote:Those agaves did come back nicely. Are you planning on putting plastic over all of them this year until they get bigger?

I think it was -5.8F or -21C, what made it a bad winter is that things were still growing right before it got below 9F and then a few days later it was -0. And if that was not enough spring came very late. I lost cactus and stuff I had for years.lucky1 wrote:Aaron, sorry missed this.

It was a bonus to have 2 cool agave survive such a bad winter.

That's such a beauty, Aaron.
Not a blemish on leaf segments...
Looks like the forecast for at least the next month is for warm temps, and it'll keep growing.
Hopefully late Fall, temps will drop slowly.

Is this the Parryi?
Havardiana has been a tough one for me.
Sorry I don't have a picture of it

Could be that the suckers are adapting better to the new soil after the transplant? I would take them off and start new plants with them, and then I bet the parent plant will do better. Maybe too late?cuja1 wrote:The suckers on my harvardiana seem to be growing faster than the parent. I wonder if I didn't water it enough the first year I got it.

My Havardiana looked a little behaggered the first winter,a little bit of
moisture and cold damage was the culprit.

How big is the Havardiana?

Jim,
it's about 4 inches wide or so, it put out about 2 new leaves this summer, but 2 new suckers appeared this summer as well and one of them has 4 leaves (if thats the correct term for them), the sucker is still smaller than the parent. I also repotted it this spring so I don't know if that makes a difference. My a. parryi that arrived this spring hasn't grown much either, but the a. parryi that I planted in the ground has done real well. I'm kind of worried about how its going to do outside.

If you keep it dry(no moisture inside the cover)and above 10F you won't have any problems...
at least I didn't and I planted these in December

Thats a nice one-maybe when they are small they aren't so tough?
I do have a A.Neomexicana that is about that size and it has been ok

Aaron, what a shame.
I can't imagine that the lower sun angle in Fall is so intense?
It'll bounce back by putting out lots of new leaves.
Jim you plant in DECEMBER????
So much for the theory about root development before cold arrives.

Hope it makes it,my Parryi looked like yours after the first winter
maybe a little better but only because it was covered...
one issue I had was condensation dripping on the cactus during the day
and freezing every night.
My winter planting technique for palms and cactus,water once
after planting and then not again until soil temps are well over 50F in spring.

I recently aquired Agave Havardiana... a beautiful Agave.
This Agave will be planted in the spring and join (if they survive the Winter) Agave Montana and Neomexicana.
Gives me the shivers though seeing those "pickled" Agaves The Montana has been through three cold Winters here without damage protected by an evergreen shrub.
Here's Neomexicana planted just below Montana
First season in the ground for this Agave.

The Neomexicana at the end sure are sharp,
I have found mine to be exceptionally slow but
it is a lot smaller than the others.

Thanks Tim, I like it also. Too bad it has frost damage on the lower leaves, but still amazed it survived uncovered that winter that kill so many plants here.

great Agaves Andy. The A. montana is nice with its dark green leaves.

Too much moisture in my area for agaves I guess. If they were cheaper, I'd try them out.
Yours look great! One of the best I've seen growing in such low temperatures. Love that hybrid!

Aaron... sorry for late reply... I bought the plant from Nigel Kembrey who is a palm specialist in the UK. Cost me £35
I am not an Agave specialist but isn't Neomexicana a form of Agave Parryi? I have another smaller plant sold as Parryi. This plant has a greener colour to it compared to the bluer Neomexicana. This agave is planted in the Yucca border.
