Beschornia yuccoids (Beschornia yuccoids)

Chuffed to bits to get this blooming this year - I thought that it would be at least next year before it bloomed.

Outdoor plant Sticki, although it gets a little protection for the worst of the winter weather.

Cool! There are some stunners in that group of plants..............

Very nice! Is the inflorescence very tall and large?

It's a popular plant here...and the inflorescence can get pretty darn tall!

I'm interested in what you come back with Sticki!!

Thanks Delonix - it stands about a metre and a half. Bearing in mind the pants summer and that this fan is a first year offset I'm pleased with that!

Meanie:

That's great! The flower spike typically tops out at 2m/6ft.

You should be...as it seems to grow as well as here in California. :>)

Too cold here and too hot there to be ideal??

It's not too hot for this plant here. Where did you hear this information?

This plant is widely grown here...and it's available for distribution from San Marcos Growers up in Santa Barbara.

It was a question.................

Even 2m seems a little short, hence the question.

Sorry! I most likely was very tired when I responded.

I'll have to get some photos of some blooming in Balboa Park.
