Yucca elephatipies

After two winters of acclimatisation I've decided my Y. elepantipies has reached a point where by it will be better taking its chances in the garden, rather than spend another summer in a pot.
So I planted it out today.
Its been around a long time in one form or another so I hope it makes it, but not really considered hardy in my area.

 

'Spikeys' aren't my thing, but it certainly catches the eye. Btw, what's that plant behind to the left?

 

Pete my one has been left outside this winter , the greenhouse was completely full , no damage at all ,overall the plant I`ve got is nothing more then what I had left from 2010 , it was big but died to the roots and not a fast growing as we know ....it`s reported at -4c , but I would say in a protected position can take more then that easy .

 

Behind to the left is something I should not be growing.

But only because it gets too big, its a northern pitch pine, Pinus rigida.

 

A really nice Yukka there. Ive a couple that are just too big also and will need to be chopped this summer. To be honest im a bit scared to do it.
Theyre about 15 years old with big fat feet so will look great if they regrow but I`ll be gutted if they rot away.?

 

I dont think they will rot away, just as long as you cut them back sometime soon, and adjust the watering to suit.

 

Should I leave the cuts open to dry or seal them with a seal/wax ? I think I`ll wait till mid summer as they will cook in the conservatory and hopefully sprout nicely .

 

Flowers of sulphur is good for preventing possible fungal/rot attacks

 

Dont think I've ever sealed cut stems on yuccas.
As you say,.......... cut it during the growing season, it will heal faster then.

 

Lovely specimen @pete
