... the over wintering pyramids I created for the Agaves. In the four years I have had one failure (Butia Capitata) and a partial collapse of a Yucca. I think the Butia failed due to poor planting and care from myself and it wasn't due to cold. The Yucca flowered so profusely that the weight ...

... decided to finally do an arid bed. Dig out all of the gritty soil and replace it with 100% grit and get some agave's in, my aloe polyphylla and a yucca rostrata etc and the astelia is slap bang in the middle of the bed.

thinking of buying a yucca liearis how have members gone on with them this very wet winter.i was going to plant it high of the soil level and then dome it up with soil hopefully to aid draiage.any replies or advice appreciated.

Its not just any fence, its a double pallisade ie it will filter / diffuse and slow the wind. A solid fence just causes turbulence and can make it calm directly behind the fence but much worse a little way from the fence.

Thanks for the info....yikes about one getting its head snapped off behind a fence. I've just potted both mine for now outside and will move indoors when the weather starts to turn. I'm hoping to plant into the ground next April/may with lots of grit (10mm gravel) and slope it away for water to run ...

We planted our yucca rostrata out about four or five years ago. The first two winters we kept a table over it to keep the rain off but if the foliage touches anything it gets marked. The last two or three winters it has been left ...

Hi there, I'd appreciate some advice for a novice to these particular plants... I've recently purchased two 6 foot Yucca Rostratas (one has a twin head). I'm thinking of potting them up for now rather than planting in the ground as winter is just round the corner. I'm based in Huddersfield ...

Yes! I am not sure what made my brain say flaccida! the banks around the airport on Madeira are covered with it, never had any luck with the seed though

The second looks like Yucca attenuata to me .

First one looks like a Furcraea although it could be one of the variegated Yucca and the second looks like Yucca possible flaccida

thanks and will do

My mature one has behaved similarly over the years and whether I have lifted pups with or without roots and taken head or stem cuttings, the results have very uneven. As you have four to play with I would try a number of options. If you carefully check any that have roots then take one now. Don't tr...

hi, my yucca flowered last year and this year the head has split into two branches, noticed that there are 4 pups sprouting from the ground around it, I want to lift them and plant them up in pots and grow on, never done it before ...

Hi my Sikkimensis came through winter fine as i described for the Basjoo in the Banana section. You can cut the point off the Yucca cut just above the leaf if you so wish. Nice collection though

... have just been plants, fingers crossed they grow again this year!) 2 x Camelia (Gifts) 2 x Rhododendron (Gifts) 1 x Beatrix Forsythia (Gift) 3 x Yucca (Going to put these into pots as they are too spiky for the dogs) Lots of Lupins which I plants from seed as I was bored (These are looking really ...
