Y gloriosa 'Tennessee'

Yucca gloriosa 'Tennessee'.





I started pollenating:
Y. Gloriosa 'Tennessee' X cernua and
Y. Gloriosa 'Tennessee' X 'fila x rostrata #1'

Hi Tim, that sounds good. Hybrids between stronger Yuccas and Y. gloriosa may become nice beauties.

Keep us updated

Hi Tim,

how does it look with the Y. "Tennessee Form", any fruits in growth? How long can you store pollen in the fridge? Any idea?

Regards
Eckhard

Seed pods are forming on gloriosa x cernua



Another bloom emerging......this bloom is Y gloriosa 'aloifolia form'.

Good job Tim! Does Y. gloriosa 'aloifolia form' have small serrated leaves edges on lover part close to the base of leaves?

Hi Tim,

I cross my thumbs that the seedpods get ripe.
Unvortunetely the cernuapollen you send me doesn't works. 4 Weeks after you send me the pollen the yucca was blooming and the pollen was wet.

Mario,

No serrations on leaf edge. I call it 'aloifolia form' since it resembles aloifolia from a distance with its short leaves and growth habit. This gloriosa form has the shortest leaves in my garden.

Thomas,

Gloriosa x cernua is interesting 'on paper', only time will tell if the plants are special. I think the gloriosa x rostrata plants will be better.

Horst,

Too bad with the pollen. Should I use something other than a plastic envelope next time?

Horst,

I'm not sure if the gloriosa x cernua seed pods will ripen in time as winter is coming fast. The other night we dropped to 35.5F (1.9C). Too close for comfort.
