Beschorneria yuccoides pollen swap
Hi Janet and Chris,
Thanks for your input.
I always seem to get the best responses from the
friendly USA, so have been posting widely.
Thanks for the uk.rec gardenening suggestion.
I understand Beschorneria yuccoides is hardy to
minus 10degree centigrade.
So that incudes quite a bit of the UK. Anywhere
west coast.
London no problem, south coast no problem and
probably upto Midlands too.
The parent plant where my division came from is a
multi crowned clump about 15ft across.
growing in Hampshire.

Beschorneria yuccoides is a Mexican species
allied to Agave that is grown
outdoors in the southwestern US and in
greenhouses in colder areas. Pollen
can be mailed from the US to Britian with no
problems.
It grows outdoors in the far south-west of the
UK, in west Cornwall
(and the Isles of Scilly of course). The local
council grow it as
roadside decoration!
Can also be grown outdoors in inner London, I
believe.

Hi Group.
Does any one have Beschorneria yuccoides in
flower
spike and could like to swap some pollen?
Last year mine flowered and did not self
pollinate
so I hope to get seed this year by usining
another
clone.
Flower spike about 6ft now and opening
fast. Seems
a shame not to go down the seed route.
Any help appreciated.
UK based.
You've posted to a mostly-USA group. You're
more likely to find a UK
response at uk.rec.gardening.
Janet.
