Yucca Rostrata
Comments (23)Hi Tom. I Just got some Y. Rostrada today (5 gallon) and it got dark before I can put it in the ground. I don't have your dilemma; I am in Az. I feel your need to put it in the ground. These mature plants are absolutey stunning when they reached 6 feet or taller. I have an idea for you. Plant it near a south wall of your house. This should receive the most sun exposure during the winter month and your brick wall should radiate some heat to protect it. You can always erect some temporary shelter and cover it if needed.

I dug a hole about 3 times the size of the root ball and was careful to ensure it rested on solid soil and planted it about 2-3 inches higher than it was growing in the container. Because of the cost, I placed heating cables around the sides of the planting hole and secured it with landscape pins. I didn't water it once during the first winter and have never had the heating cables on again....See MoreFeeding Yucca Rostrata

A quick google search will get you the proper mix. I use a custom mix of bark chips, builders sand and pea gravel only because those ingredints are easy to come by....See MoreWANTED: Yucca rostrata , yucca elata, seedlings or seeds
