Wonder how well these guys would transplant and survive in my yard?

The hardiness data seems confusing, in the title they list it as hardy to -10, below in the "HORTICULTURAL INFORMATION" they say it is known to survive to -5 but they say the hardiness is USDA zone 5b which goes down to -15.

So is it hardy to -5, -10, or -15?

The seller, collector palms is very reputable. Yuccas do transplant very well and you can be sure that if you buy a palm or yucca from Ryan it will be in very good condition.

I don't think hardiness would be a problem considering rostrata will grow up here in Cincinnati Ohio. Just remember plant it in a fast draining soil.

A good friend of mine raises Yucca Rostata. He owns http://mayofarmsnursery.com/

They definitely need good draining soil. He also has bamboo. :D He was a member of the Texas Bamboo Society. I don't know if he still is or not.

He lives in Raymondville... about 21 miles north of me. When I saw the price listed on Ebay, I thought they were really high.

We see a lot of those down here. Very pretty yucca.

We received almost double the amount of rain in january, and well over average in december. After all that moisture my rostrata looks like it has rotted.
