Looking good Josef and welcome to the forum
Did you have any losses this winter?
Don't you grow cycads as well? I have seen your name on a cycad talk group.

Josef,
Nice collection of cycads very well grown
Is that Ceratozamia kuesteriana in the third picture, the cycad with the very fine leaves?

I have seen some of your photos on other forums and I'm always impressed. I wouldn't have enough time to do all that you've done.
Cheers, Barrie.

You have a super garden Josef, thanks for sharing the photos with us!
I have also seen your garden on other forums, but it never fails to impress.
I see you have some more yuccas in pots, will they be going in your garden soon?

Josef,
A amazzing garden you get there! And what surpizes me that your palms have almost no leavedamage from last winter! And even a Jubaea. How lng do you grow Jubaea in the garden there? And it seem you don not use any artificial protection like heatingcables in the winter to protect palms from extreme temperatures. Here in the Netherlands and in Belgium a lot of people had severe frost damage among their palms. But similair temperatures you get there, minus 20 and more. Maybe it has to do with your warmer summer that makes the plants more resistent to extreme cold. Ammount of sugars in the plant tissue, etcetera.
And stunning Yuccas and Agaves. Wich Agaves are the hardiest there by the way?
Alexander
