Hi Tim,

I saw the Y. recurvifolia x arkansana, moud city-seeds on July, 04,2012 and now the first seed germinates. Thanks a lot.

@ Sascha, dieser Beitrag hier ist von mir auch ernst gemeint. Kann ich ja immer dabei schreiben;-)

Hi Horst,

great job! I sowed 10 seeds and only 2 germinated........and it took 5 weeks to germinate. Too bad I only had 1 seed pod. I had many pods but some animal ate 6 pods in early September just prior to harvesting the pods!!!

The seed producing parent was sent to me from Jim Kelly as a 'recurvifolia' but the seed pods hang and are thick so now I will call the seed parent Yucca a gloriosa. So this hybrid can be called Y. gloriosa x arkansana 'Moud City, MO'. PS, the arkansana is a FH selection.

A couple photos of the parent Yuccas.

Hi Tim,

is this blooming Y. gloriosa a gloriosa/flaccida too? Now I have 2 seedlings of this crossing with Y. arkansana.

Hi Horst,

nice job with those Y. gloriosa x arkansana 'Moud City, MO' hybrids. I only have 2 seedlings.......I hope they survive.

The Yucca gloriosa from the Y. glor x ark hybrid is a 'true' gloriosa. It forms a trunk. The trunk was probably 2' tall when it bloomed last year and it produces hanging seed pods which produce thick seed.

A couple of the Y. 'gloriosa x flaccidas' I have are below. None appear to be true trunkers. We'll see how they trunk with age. The second one is forming a short trunk but it appears the trunk will not continue to grow?

Y. gloriosa 'Sandbridge, VA'........these seeds were sent to me a Y. gloriosa from Jim Kelly who collected them in Sandbridge, VA back in 2001. The seed was small and thick like gloriosa but the plants which grew are more like flaccida. This indicates to me the seeds were hybrid with a local flaccida. I have several different looking plants from these further suggesting a hybrid.






Another Yucca which was sent to me as a Y. gloriosa but I'd call it a Y. gloriosa x flaccida since it's not a true trunker however it produces thick seed, pods are erect too.......kinda unusual.
