Re: Yucca

Connie Hoy....hmmmmm that's the local weather persons name here in Eugene,
OR. USA Zone 8.....Yucca loves hot summers....had it in Colorado....deep
taproots so it could survive deep freezes...we are talking 4 ft here...They
bury the water pipes at that depth......Here in the 8 zone yuccas
thrive,,,,bloom beautifully.....draw ants like crazy....I would think that
yucca would do well in a cold  zone....Even when it freezes it just darkens
down...then comes back....antifreeze in its arteries...I swear

I recommend Agaves, Yuccas, and Related Plants by Mary and Gary Irish Published by Timber Press. Excellent resource!
