well i just wanted to show a pic of my new yucca linearis from nigel,although i have not got it yet, i am sure it will be a real nice specimen.

cheers nigel

I'm getting one as a gift for someone and we are planning to keep it potted for a few years then eventually planting it out(if it survives). What should I fill the pot with, I read on this website that multi-purpose compost would be a bad idea for arid plants so what should I use? Levington sell Cac...

I've just planted out the yucca in the middle of the picture, its a cracking example with about 1metre of trunk, i still have to restone the bed but at least its in & will settle down with time. karl.

Brought some Yucca Rostrata seeds off ebay

Here are some planted specimens, i have reluctantly had to take some more more patio up as we have no sunny spots left!!, i really need to sort out a blog to show you the whole garden now its progressing, i have to have my wife's help as i am useless with technology. i have just put a few pic's of s...

hi everyone
anybody growing Yucca faxoniana, i have read these are hardier than rostrata and thompsoniana, i will proberly put it in a pot so whats best medium mix for it, thanks again

Hay hay.

I have a Yucca gloriosa Variegata that flowered last year. My question is how long will it be before it branches and grows again. It's been in the ground four years and is a nice size, didn't want it to flower but hay ho. I can't see any new growth though....where will it branch from?

How much watering, when planted out do large 6ft plus Thompsonia, rostrata, faxionia need?, when there in pots its a bit easier to tell if there drying out or not. I realise when first planted out they need good preparation, but there after is rainfall enough for them , as i know not many yuccas lik...

So, if you were looking to buy one, would you go...

My rostrata went through dec 2010 in the unheated greenhouse totally unscathed yet this winter, despite it being 7c warmer and in the same greenhouse it has suffered rot damage and last years growth has come out of the growing point. I opened the door when it was mild as i did last winter. Any idea ...

My rostrata is far to big for a pot & i dont really want to repot as i'll never lift the thing!!.At the moment its got very little soil in the pot as its mainly agricultural grit. I know there notorious for root disturbance but it needs to go in ground. It will be on a gravel bed but what is the...

... take it to the field and let it have a run about. This is going back a few years now and she still walks it now. The woman who owns the dog had a yucca gloriosa variegata in her garden and said to my mum last year that she hated it and wanted it gone. It was forgotton about until yesterday. Since ...

Hi, Noticed this morning after last nights frost which got down to -4.5 here that my Variegated Phormium and Variegated Yucca Gloriosa have a slightly floppy appearance to them and a hint of blackness! I've not bothered with any protection on them as I didnt think they needed it. Should ...
