Posted by Linda, Denman Island on September 5, 2006, 11:46 am, in reply to "Re: Yucca carnerosana " The climate is pretty mild (USDA 8b or warmer some winters). Most of the rain is in the winter and summers tend to get tinder dry as it is right now(fire risk is high). I wish I knew the annual precipitation average. People have reported widely different amounts, anywhere from 40 to over 50 inches, so I really don’t know for sure. We do have times where the rain is incredibly intense, so it seems to me that annual average precipitation numbers can be a little deceiving. Do you think it would tolerate 50 inches if that's what I actually get? Many of my succulents started from seed, like the carnerosana, are just starting to get big enough for a true test out in open. I’ve learnt the hard way, at least with agaves, that they seem to get more tolerant to frost/moisture with age. By the way, I saw the photo of you recent project at the UK Oasis site and it looks spectacular!
