long shot.... any yucca experts out there

[sammiboo]

I'll get some pictures in a bit. I have been trying to look this up on the net but nothing is coming up.

My yuccas trees tops have started to come off. I am sure its down to the harsh frost but i dont know if this has killed them or if they will recover. We had a harsh winter the first year we were here but they seemed ok.

They are about 15ft high so i cannot fleece them

if anyone can offer some advice i would be greatful or if they know of any decent websites that could help

Looks like they just don't like winter. Aren't they like other plants where you can just cut away the dead stuff?

They don't like winter times at all, not very well suited for this climate tbh. You can remove the dead parts at the base and hopefully the plant will surrvive but wit such a harsh winter as we've had it may be hit and miss.
They are pretty tought plants and if they are to big to fleece for the winter you'll just have to wait and hope they make it...

they have been well maintained. the dead leaves are taken off but its the top of them that have started falling off. They are as nearly as high as the bedroom window so they cannot be fleeced

I think they will be fine tbh...I have never seen one die, we even had one come up in the driveway and it was driven over and over until it got too big, and it needed to be moved
