Thanks for the tip about the plastic touching the leaves. I'd another agave that I also covered with plastic but used bamboo poles to create a tent over the plant & it sailed through with no problem. A.W. was so large that I let the plastic rest on the plant. Looks like A.W. is giving me a second chance and, thanks to your advice, I won't make the same mistake next winter! outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-44652298154789760362013-04-09T05:05:32.129-07:002013-04-09T05:05:32.129-07:00Speaking as the World's Foremost Authority on ...Speaking as the World's Foremost Authority on Agave Death (no one knows more about the ways agaves can die than I do, lost at least ten this winter), if the center part is rigid, things are almost certainly okay. If you tug on it and it pulls right out, all mushy and brown at the bottom, well ...<br />Even then it can come back from the roots. Fat, white healthy roots will create new plants in short order. <br />When you cover them and there's a chance of freezing, the plastic shouldn't touch the plant.

First of all you just gave me the (up until now unknown) name of a plant I posted on my blog, and second, don't we all fall in love with "that plant" from the nursery, bring it home and watch that love fall apart :( Sometimes it's our fault and we love them - to death! And other times the plant was a liar and never really loved us at all... I hope your agave ends up being a true love!Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341233630137969987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-57813830045614924852013-04-06T07:29:50.568-07:002013-04-06T07:29:50.568-07:00Thank you,Kalyan.Thank you,Kalyan.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-21181463304819533562013-04-06T07:28:23.955-07:002013-04-06T07:28:23.955-07:00Thank you, Spock!Thank you, Spock!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-34869394774357315582013-04-06T07:28:02.110-07:002013-04-06T07:28:02.110-07:00I'm thrilled!
