Hello all interested Yucca breeders,

We have started to harvest the seed pods made during the summer of 2014. So far we have harvested and cleaned the following pods:

Yucca (angustissima ssp. kanabensis x (filamentosa x arkansana (BMJ2086A))) X flaccida [f. glaucescens]. 1 pod with the # BMJ2014-039. Total black good looking seeds 163 seeds.

Yucca (angustissima ssp. kanabensis x (filamentosa x arkansana (BMJ2086A))) X (hybrid #500 x glauca (BMJ2007A)), 7 pods with the following #s, BMJ2014-040, BMJ2014-041, BMJ2014-042, BMJ2014-043, BMJ2014-044, BMJ2014-045, BMJ2014-046. Total black good looking seeds: 1593 seeds.

Yucca (angustissima ssp. kanabensis x (filamentosa x arkansana (BMJ2086A))) X its own pollen, 2 pods with the #s: BMJ2014-047, BMJ2014-048. Total black good looking seeds: 301 seeds.

This brings the total pods so far in 2014 up to 46 pods with a total of 16 hybrids, 1 F2 and 1 unknown.

In the unheated greenhouse there are still 8 fruits which isn't ripe yet:

Yucca (bailey x gloriosa, Janakidizs hybrid BMJ2248)) X 'Elegantissima'. 2 pods

Yucca (bailey x gloriosa, Janakidizs hybrid BMJ2248)) X (hybrid #500 x glauca (BMJ2007A)) 4 pods.

Yucca (bailey x gloriosa, Janakidizs hybrid BMJ2248)) X flaccida. 2 pods.

All 8 pods looks very good, and I hope, that they will contain some good viable seeds inside them.

I have made some observations this year.
The pollen from Yucca 'Glockenrisen' resulted in pods which were deformed and only contained a few good seeds. And the pollen of Yucca filamentosa x rostrata Behans clone #1, resulted in pods a little deformed. Also those pollinated with the first blooming Yucca in our garden Yucca (angustissima ssp. kanabensis x (filamentosa x arkansana (BMJ2086A))) resulted in seedpods with a low number of good black seeds inside them.
Whereas most of those pollinated with fresh pollen, were much better looking and containing more good black seeds in each pod.

Some time during the winter we will publish a schematic list with more detailed information about our seed harvest 2014.

Here is a photo of two of the pods on the Yucca bailey x gloriosa, Janakidizs hybrid in our greenhouse.


The label is 20 mm wide.

Have a nice weekend

Benny & Co.

Hii Benny,

was für eine lange Liste von neuen Hybriden. Ich glaube auch, dass da ein Zusammenhang besteht zwischen der Pollenqualität und den Früchten. Wenn der Pollen zu lange mit der Post unterwegs ist leidet die Qualität der Früchte. Die Früchte an meiner Y. baileyi x gloriosa sind riesengroß. Bei dir auch? Die sind genau in der Mitte zwischen baileyi und gloriosa. Sie wollen einfach nicht abtrocknen und reißen auch nicht auf.

Hej Benny,

That's an imposing list again. Nice that the pollen of Y. cf. 'Glockenriese' had worked!

And that is absolutely true, pollinated with fresh pollen, it works much better.

I had this year in my 'Glockenriese' for the first time set seed-pods, without that these were aborted.

Most pollinated with own pollen or from Y. 'Kartausgarten', but also with Y. glauca 'Yuccakreisel' it had worked - those with letter-pollen are unfortunately aborted again!

On my 'Kartausgarten', moreover, also Tim's 'Y. filamentosa x rostrata Behans clone # 1' was the only letter-pollen that had worked this year!

Furthermore, had worked once Y. glauca 'Yuccakreisel' on the nice Y. 'Glockenstab'

In comparison, I must say that the purple seed pods of Y. 'Kartausgarten' needed one month longer to mature, than the other yuccas.

Hi Horst,

mächtige Brummer, Deine "Früchtchen" an der Y. baileyi x gloriosa - und endlich mal was intermediäres.

Leider funktioniert das Einfügen von Fotos bei mir derzeit nicht, dann eben mal extern:

Yucca cf. 'Glockenriese':

Die Pods der 'Glockenriese' sind im Vergleich zu den anderen des Y. filamentosa-flaccida Komplexes auffällig samtig anzufassen! Aber ich bräuchte ein gutes Makro-Objektiv um die feinen Härchen sichtbar zu machen!

A propo Y. cf. 'Glockenriese' - noch mal den Habitus einer Pflanze aus dem Tierpark Bad Liebenstein, die wohl ein 'Ableger' von meiner ist! Diese Exemplar geht mir etwa bis zum Kinn, ist als über 1,5 m hoch:

...bei diesem bescheidenen Wetter mit Dauerregen ist Samenpulen eine schöne Beschäftigung.
Selten hab ich so einen hohen Anteil an schwarzen Samen gehabt wie an diesen Früchten


Y. 'Vernatsch' (rupicola x flaccida) x thompsoniana grün, endlich mal eine Sorte aus Tirol

[quote="ThomasB"|p26699]Hallo Horst,

endlich kann man mal einen inhaltlichen Zusammenhang mit Tirol bzw. nicht sogar Südtirol? herstellen ;-)

...genau so ist es, die Ausaat der Samen dient dann übrigens ausschließlich Forschungszwecken

Forschen .... das machen wir doch alle irgendwie, jeder eben auf seine Weise, der eine hart, der andere weich. Ich zum Beispiel auch mit altem Samen, das kam natürlich wie es kommen musste

Hallo,

gestern habe ich die letzten beiden Chargen abgeschnitten. Die Früchte sollen jetzt noch indoor nachreifen.
02-2014 HF Yucca 'Uhudler' Y. (louisianensis x pallida) x thompsoniana grün
04-2014 HF Yucca 'Loulou' Y. louisianensis x ?1 x louisianensis x ?2
08-2014 HF Yucca 'Flatho' Y. flaccida x thompsoniana grün
09-2014 HF Yucca 'Vernatsch' Y. (rupicola x flaccida) x thompsoniana grün
10-2014 HF Yucca 'Blaufränkisch' Y. (filata x Golden sword) x thompsoniana grün
11-2014 HF Yucca 'Zweigelt' Y. #BMJ 2371 (glauca x filamentosaF2) x thompsoniana grün
12-2014 HF Yucca 'St. Laurent' Y. #BMJ 2000 (Karli x elata) x thompsoniana grün
13-2014 HF Yucca 'Welsch' Y. filamentosa 'Gold Stripe' x thompsoniana grün
14-2014 HF Yucca 'Syrah' Y. (baileyi x gloriosa) x thompsoniana grün
15-2014 HF Yucca 'Trollinger' Y. (glauca x recurvifolia) x thompsoniana grün

Bei der Yucca 'Welsch' bin ich gespannt ob es wieder nur Albinos gibt, die Mutter ist ja eine panaschierte Sorte.

Glückauf
Horst

Hallo Horst,

wie schon Sascha sagte: "sehr schöne "Arbeitstitel" und auch sehr vielversprechende Kombinationen!"

Glückauf

Jorge

Hello Horst,

Great list with only interesting combinations, I hope they contain many good seeds inside the pods, well done.

Do you have some photos of your BMJ2371 Yucca glauca x filamentosa F2 when it was in bloom? I am very interested to see how it looks compared to the "original" F1 BMJ1827A Yucca glauca x filamentosa.

Best wishes

Benny
