a couple photos from the garden.

Yucca gloriosa/recurvifolia 'Highway 421' all cleaned up.


a hybrid Yucca von Thomas. It appears it is producing offshoots already at this juvenile stage. I planted it into the garden today.

@Tim Behan

Your First Pic is Great !!!

Hallo Tim,

Why do you clean up your Yucca's so rigorous ? Cleaning up the old leaves i can understand but this?
Do you have a reason for that?

Hi Thomas.....I may have 3 of those Y. Alzenau x rostrata/rigidas too!

Hi Ingo......thanks

Hi Lute......I don't typically trim the Yuccas so much but I need more garden space............trimming the Yucca leaves will give sun to more plants!...............also the leaves were 'beat up' from winter too.

Pineappels look great too in the garden. ;-)

Hallo Tim,
Yes, i understand why you did it.
My aunt lives in Sun Lakes/Phoenix Arizona and does trim everything what groes in her garden, the whole neighbourhood does it too. Therefore i did ask you.

Perhaps because otherwise they need too much wather, all is irrigated there.
All the best for you so far away.
