Yucca elephantipes.



The last four years have certainly been busy - university, new places and people - but I have had a steady companion throughout: Joanna, my yucca tree. I am uncertain of her exact species, though I believe she may be a yucca elephantipes. Nevertheless, one thing beyond doubt is my pleasure in seeing a bit of life and greenery upon my desk of dusty books.

Yucca elephantipes, "Giant Yucca".
(Perennial tree.)


Planting: Late spring.
Flowering: Joanna is beautiful enough without flowers.
Aspect: Full sun, avoiding wet soil.
Hardiness: Fairly hardy.

Notes: Doing anything, including writing a blog, is done much more easily when accompanied by the Rocky IV soundtrack.
