Wanted: Agave Blue glow and Agave Attenuata

I have transplanted in the high hundreds of agave attenunata in Southern California in the way I described at pretty much every time of year over the course of a couple decades. I don't know why GeeS thinks it would kill the plant. Must not be from around here. Another Landscape Architect friend of mine has about 2000 sqft of the stuff and whenever they get too long for the look he is going for we just go at them with a pruning saw and replant everything. I have even filled up a pickup truck with the stuff after demoing a landscape, let it sit in another friends backyard for a few months, then stuck them in full sun without roots in the heat of August and they didn't die. They might turn a little yellow and the bottom leaves might shrivel up but those guys are pretty tough.

Gophers? Look for tunnels. I found one tunnel entrance that ended under a large pot. Maybe he could smell roots and wanted what was in the pot. What was the plant? A Cordyline I had re- rooted because a year earlier a gopher had eaten all the roots to that 7' and old Ti plant. Cats caught him.

Ooooh, those are nice! I wasn't aware there were variegated forms. I have the regular green one. It's been inside since the end of October in the greenhouse as we can get to - degrees C outside. It will be there till around mid March probably. Hopefully it will pull through the winter again, it looked fine the other day:-) I put a bubble wrap tent over the top as the roof can drip condensation. I grew it from a tiny 2inch pup that was gifted to me. I lost one pup that I detached when quite small but the big guy is growing two more that I've left on a bit longer so I want to try again with those this coming season.Gill
