Yucca filamentosa Hybrid? (BMJ #1465)


I have 3 plants of this one:

#1465A Yucca filamentosa Hybrid?, planted in a unprotected bed.
#1465B Yucca filamentosa Hybrid?, grown in a pot which is in a protected frame during the winter.
#1465C Yucca filamentosa Hybrid?, planted in a unprotected bed.

They may be of the same clone?

#1465A Yucca filamentosa Hybrid?,
This plant is grown in a bed which is unprotected during the winter.

Where did I get the plant from:
I got the plant from the nursery Landlyst in Hjørring in 2000.

Short description of the plant:
Plant: acaulescent with several large rosettes, forming short rhizomes. Leaves: dark gray green, rather stiff, 60 long, 3,5-4 cm wide around the middle, roughened surface in lines, slightly glaucous, with many rather thick curly fibers at the margin of the leaves. Inflorescence: pubescent, 125 cm high, paniculate with many branches up to 20 cm long, held in an upright angle. Scape: 80 cm starting from well above the leaves. Flowers: pendulous (bell shaped), white, 5 to 7,5 cm across. Fruit purplish-green, rough surface, slightly constricted, 22- 27 mm thick and 50-55 mm long, variously and irregularly flattened in places, as if saved off with a knife.
Seeds not know at the time of writing!

Where do I grow the plant:
I grow it a raised well drained bed, but I will try it in "normal" garden soil, when I start to propagate it.

Hardiness:
At the time of writing have I only grown it for a short time, so I can't really say if it will survive a hard winter, but it's promising, and a good bloomer which also is very important!

Other notes:
In the summer of 2003 I tried to pollinate the flowers with pollen from a some different Yuccas:

#1465A Yucca filamentosa X #454C Yucca arkansana (stiff narrow leaded form), 5 flowers pollinated, = 1 fruit (4 aborted)
#1465A Yucca filamentosa X #49 Yucca flaccida, 2 flowers pollinated = 2 aborted!
#1465A Yucca filamentosa X #1461 Yucca glauca, 6 flowers pollinated = 5 fruits (1 aborted).

I also used the pollen from this plant to pollinate the following:

#454C Yucca arkansana (stiff narrow leaded form) X #1465A Yucca filamentosa, 3 flowers pollinated, =  1 fruit (2 aborted)
#49 Yucca flaccida X #1465A Yucca filamentosa, 1 flower pollinated = 0 fruits, (1 aborted)
#1461 Yucca glauca X #1465A Yucca filamentosa,  4 flowers pollinated = 0 fruits. (4 aborted, two of these were 11 days before they aborted!?)

Grown in a pot which is in a protected frame during the winter.

Where did I get the plant from:
I got the plant from the nursery Landlyst in Hjørring in 2000.

Short description of the plant:
Plant: acaulescent with several rosettes, forming short rhizomes. Leaves: dark gray green, rather stiff, 50 cm long 3 cm wide around the middle, roughened surface in lines, slightly glaucous, with many rather thick curly fibers at the margin of the leaves. Inflorescence: pubescent, 100 cm high, paniculate with many branches up to 12 cm long, held in an upright angle. Scape: 40 cm high, starting from well above the leaves. Flowers: pendulous (bell shaped), white, 5 to 7,5 cm across. Fruit purplish-green, rough surface, slightly constricted, 22- 27 mm thick and 50-55 mm long, variously and irregularly flattened in places, as if saved off with a knife.
Seeds not know at the time of writing!

Where do I grow the plant:
It's grown in a large pot in a unheated frame which is protected against winter moisture.

Hardiness:
At the time of writing have I only grown it for a short time, so I can't really say if it will survive a hard winter, but it's promising, and a good bloomer which also is very important!

Other notes:
In the summer of 2003 I tried to pollinate the flowers with pollen from a Yucca glauca:

#1465B Yucca filamentosa X #1461 Yucca glauca, 2 flowers pollinated = 2 fruits.

I also used the pollen from this plant to pollinate the following:

#818 Yucca 'Bright Edge' X #1465B Yucca filamentosa, 1 flower pollinated = 1 fruit (0 aborted)

#1465C Yucca filamentosa Hybrid?
Planted in a unprotected bed.
I got the plant from the nursery Landlyst in 2000, Many curly fibers.

More data on this plant later!
