HI yes it is a yucca elephanipes "jewel" homebase sold a lot of them this year
classified as half hardy. can take light frost. Can stand winter outside in very sheltered city gardens or in pot against south facing wall.

Can someone please help me id this yucca bought from an ex-Homebase store in Milton Keynes. I bought it in June and planted it out immediately. It has grown about 100% since then and I love it but don't want to lose it if its tender. My own ...

yucca flower really blooming now, 12 years since we first planted it

In the end, I’ve decided to go a slightly different route. I’d always fancied a large columnar cactus there and found a 1m high Trichocereus peruvianus at a great price. I won’t plant out until next Spring but will be much easier to protect in winter due to the lack of fronds!! Most research suggest...

There are obviously variants of rostrata, my planted out one took seven years to start looking crappe. also started pupping ,time will tell with the other large one that's been planted this year....almost nothing gets protection here, if anything fail's they get donated to someone with greenhouse or...

I did tie mine up to be fair and did open the front to ventilate on good days

I found mine did better uncovered so the wind could dry it out. The first two years the ends were damaged where they had touched the plastic table that was covering the plant.

Rostrata was ok foe me last winter as well although it did have plastic greenhouse over it.

rostrata has been tough for me and not faulted. I have a couple in the front garden and one in the back which don't get protected. I did have a rostrata which was probably crossed with something else as it had finer leaves that did rot on the side so has since pupped with three decent small plants n...

Which do people recommend more, particularly for damp rather than cold Why don't you get in touch with Nigel at Hardy Palms? He has some bargains on yuccas and dasylirions at the moment. I always tell him our conditions, tell him the look i'm after and he tells me what will do well and what we can ...

Linearis ….100%.
I grow thompsonia as a very large specimen & this get's slight damage but recover's rapid in late spring/ early summer, I grow large specimen rostrate but here they take an age to look good once damaged.....mostly they never recover fully.

Which do people recommend more, particularly for damp rather than cold (it never gets ridiculously cold here)? Linearis/linearifolia or Thompsoniana?

Welcome to HTUK, JM icon_cheers Confirm you have Yucca elephantipes "Jewel". Not as hardy as the type. (My old specimen was unprotected and unscathed from the "East Beast".) You should get away with a brief dry frost, say -2c ...

Hi JM welcome to the forum they look like Yucca =Jewel . Not sure how hardy they will be in Scotland.
Hardy to about -1c I think

These certainly are fussy plant's in part's of uk, I bought a stonking one with approx. four feet of trunk & stunning head in 2011....planted out from the start in south/west position in 100% draining medium ,looked fantastic for five years then started a decline for no apparent reason,it's now ...
