Beside the Yucca rostrata is my Y elata.
Its a pup from the mother plant I took over a decade ago. I cant believe I was able to get a pup.
Its a little larger than it looks, almost 4' tall.
I first heard about the hardiness of Y elata when an old one died at Opryland in Nashville years ago. It perished in a huge flood that covered it for over a month or so. It had been there for over 25 years. They really are the 'needle palm' of trunking desert yuccas and very hardy. Glad to hear your growing one. The dirt spot to its left in the photo is the 'burn off' of my Pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana). The wind was mild and didn't think it would scorch the Elata by burning it instead of clipping it down but it did a little. It will color back up by summer.
