Looking forward to getting a Y.linearis/linearifolia next year. Everyone I've asked about it so far have praised this Yucca for being hardy and reliable :) Goodluck with the rostrata, hope it recovers in spring. I know some who has them for years and they've been succesful with them ...

... sort of damage to yours Palmer, Ill do a pic on saturday when its light enough. Mark, linearis or linearifolia as its now called is a fantastic yucca, my favourite for sure, apparently very hardy too so we'll see this winter as I only got mine last winter and it stayed in the greenhouse till ...

I've heard mixed reviews about Yucca rostrata. Getting the planting and drainage right and having a good root system are necessary but mostly it depends on the plant itself, some are finicky, some are not. Nigel's example seems to indicate ...

... spot, I just dont know whats wrong with it. I hear a lot about people buying rostrata but dont hear a lot afterwards. Is this the 'yatay' of the Yucca world? or is it just mine thats crappe? http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a199/adeshattock/rostrata.jpg

whichever is easier for you Ade. You dont have to take them all the way to wisley though - i only live a mile from you I'll did up that yucca for you tomorrow. I spent today getting all the brugs and ensettes up

It looks similar to Yucca Rostrata.

How cold hardy is a grass tree?

he did lucien then prompty dropped it out of its pot on the floor I have my yucca jade in that pot

... with the large one will officially run out.... Its actually one of two plance I have still got from when i was a kid. The other being a huge blue yucca that I keep outside. It gets its stems broken every time I move but it recovers and looks magnificent

... behind a non prickly prickly pear and and the softy Agave attenuata. There are a few here, Trithrinax campestris, the CID spikes are at eye level, Yucca aloifolia seems to draw blood before you reach it, the whole arrid bed is a danger zone. Try picking fallen leaves out of a Rhapidophyllum hysterix ...

... No Agaves at all, lots of Trachycarpus, Chammy, Washingtonia and Phoenix canariensis_CIDP. Few big Dicksonia antarctica Tree ferns, and 2 x Yucca Rostrata down to £98. :wink: Did pick up an Olive down from £12.98 to £9.67. and also 2 x 125 litre B&Q Mp compost for £10 but with the discount ...

I nominate Puya Chilensis a real brute to move in the pot. Rips you to pieces.Closely followed by Yucca Aloifolia a formidable plant which could probably pierce body armour. Its certainly made me hop about on occasions.Last but not least Agave Stricta,leaves made to punish.

I only have seeds of Yucca Filamentosa (only native). I'll have plants of different varieties but they are way to big to ship. Yucca Rostrata is becoming popular here. If you only send a small amount of seeds, customs won't care whats ...

Hi turtile, yes I grow yucca. I have Y. recurvifolia, gloriosa, aloifolia, filimentosa, and elephantipes variegata. These are the standard garden centre varieties over here. Apparently none has ever set seed here as we don't have the ...
