Now that our Yucca plants has matured and bloomed for the first time, it's time to harvest our Yucca seeds. While we enjoy several plants we already have, we didn't want the seeds to broadcast themselves and spread. So we are beginning to collect the mature seed pods. Also we wanted to update you on our little cotton plant which is also maturing.

learned a lot here just with visual clues! mine are still green and on the plant. what's the best time to sow them? thanks so much!

Uh oh... before I watched this I thought I was supposed to harvest when they are brown... so mine are not dry.
oh well I didn't harvest from my tallest Yuccas with the biggest pods so I can try again.

enjoyed your video yucca trees are pretty neat looking

Everything grows in Texas when you think about it. Tropical in South Texas by Mexico its never cold. Rainy in East Texas and Swampy. Cold year round in the Panhandle because its high in Elevation so even in summer it can freeze at night in Amarillo lake Meredith even has yellow perch and Walleye. Hot and dry in West Texas. Central Texas is forest and grassland. Clay. Sand. Mud soil. Sunny cloudy wet dry humid arid. So plants that only grow in clay or sand could find a home here. Plants in swamps could find a home here. Plants that do t tolerate a freeze or frost can find a home here. Plants that like cold can find a home here. Plants that like desert can find a home here. Plants that like weekly rain can find a home here. Plants that like shade in forests can find a home here. You can find almost any condition in Texas. Only thing we dont have is Volcanos.

Hello Can I harvest the seed when the pod is green or do I have to wait until opens? Thank you in advance

This past summer I was finally able to get these pods on my Yucca plant and was able to get a lot of seeds. I tried right away to germinate them but no luck. I still have some seeds left and will try again as soon as it starts to get warm around here in East Pa. I've been growing them for the past 20 some years now just from the root. Never from seeds so wish me luck this year. How can I if you still have any get some from you?? Hope to hear back from you. Edmund. :)

Thanks, Derrick, for visiting our site. We bought the plant years ago and have divided it and moved it around. I think you can buy them at many garden nurseries. They do not blossom every year, so it’s always impressive to watch when they do. Lynn

Hi ...omg I want yucca seeds, where did you get them ?

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I totally agree with you about cottonwood trees. We have them here also and sometimes the flying cotton looks like snow. The little cotton plant we grew was an actual cotton plant that is used to make cotton cloth. It has a few pods on it, but since it’s getting cool out now here in WI, I don’t think the pods will mature enough to product the cotton ball we had hoped. Time will tell. Lynn

cotton trees are a pain...her in new mexico it flies everywhere and some people get allergic

I hope the warm weather stays around long enough so the cotton pods ripen and open. Let me know when your plant does please. It’s been fun to watch. Lynn

We enjoyed our visit, as always. What fun to see how the cotton plant has progressed since the last visit. The flowers it produces is beautiful. Truly interesting! Thanks for having us over. Will send an email later today. (hugs)
