I like eborispina, and I try to grow a lot from the seeds and spread them. Currently, stocks collected from the local area are distributed in large quantities at low prices in Japan. This condition is feared to lead to destruction of local ecology. I agree with your activities!

thanks.

thank you

Hi, thank you for video, so informative. I am from Italy, is it possible to buy seeds of agaves nevadensis and eborispina from you ?

I do well with new Mexico agave in South New Jersey zone 7 lots of drainage sandy dry soil with rock layer on top near house wall so gets drier south exposure. Growing slowly but getting many pups . I think.its the hardiest blue colored agave have tried some of the other cold hardy ones too

Some might even be reclassified as their own species because of DNA testing. Subspecies and varieties are not exactly clear cut because it's often unclear if they develop their look solely due to environmental factors or genetics as well. This is apparent with Agave utahensis when we look at nevadensis and kaibabensis for example. They differ quite vastly from each other and it wouldn't be surprising if those subspecies were going to become full species in formal taxonomy in the future.

Super interesting video. I don't know enough to have an opinion, but I can't wait to find out if you come across outliers that might qualify as new taxa.

Your friend Jerry in Moab Utah

Have you ever heard of the Huachuca agave that grows in the mountains just south of Sierra Vista Arizona it's one of those Island Mountain varieties that only grows there just under the pinion in Juniper elevation I don't know if it's extinct yet or not but each plant is 4 ft wide and only a foot and a half High and they grow in these giant clusters let me know if you've heard of this

If you have four different names per plant when it comes to lumpers and Splitters you may be splitting a little too much I'm somewhere in the middle when it comes to being a lumper or a splitter in taxonomy I love your enthusiasm because they really are unique Agaves I'm from Moab Utah and I'm going to start going around and looking for the agave Moab incest

I use field numbers. Usually, botanical names change quickly. Geographical names do not change. On Sunday I will write what I have. I do not remember now.😅

If they would stop draining the river that feeds the salt lake to feed beef cattle, this would be majorly slowed.

Wow

I love TOOL. And The Top-Down Views really look like TOOL album art in Nature. Nice video man ✌️✌️

Great video! Just happen to be potting up a nevadensis today for a friend so this was the perfect inspiration I needed for staging! Thank you!

How to obtain a seeds?

This video made me run and water my Agave utahensis seedling. I was treating it like a cactus. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Love your enthusiasm!! Thx

need to give kaibabensis some credit lol

never knew there was a fan club especially for utahensis… but i love it

Nice 😊

Keep fighting the good fight, I like your energy and presentation. We had a similar issue out here with people collecting Yermo xanthocephalus or running them over with 4x4s. Conservation is thankless work but I live for the feeling of knowing that I'm saving a small part of something, even if it's imperceptibly small on the global scale. Subscribed!

Great vid. I think 5-10 acre of greenhouses dedicated to utahensis could probs produce around 100k utahensis every month if it was running full steam by a competent farm team. You could grow 100k on 1 acre but other acres for storage while sales. in my opinion today, the best way to save it is to outproduce all it's threats. I'm not gunna do that but if I had the $ I'd do that lol

Good luck on your journey my friend

This is awesome. It's going to be so cool to see what you document along the way.

Excellent interview…thanks!

i really luv your video!!!!!!!!

I wonder if this method can apply to copiapoa too. Would love to try this on them.

A cautionary note- ultraviolet (UV) light is the primary cause of skin cancer in humans. It can also damage eyes. So keep that UV light on your plants, and away from yourself. Most lights are designed not to produce much infrared light (IR) , because it creates heat. Restaurants use IR lights to keep food warm. So keep the temperature in mind.

My plants grow outside, so the light they get is whatever sunlight hits the earth (the atmosphere does block some- I’m only a little above sea level).

I actually noticed how some of my agave are very blue and some have white powdery stripes on them. I have one small Utahensis Nevadaensis but since it’s still small, I’m scared of exposing it to full sun. I live in Bakersfield and temps are over 110 degrees Fahrenheit.

Can’t wait to get my hands on one. I work at Utah Valley University and would love a local mascot plant. 😂

Keep up this content bro!!! superb

I was born in chihuahua. One of my earliest memories was of eating a roasted agave leaf from a raramuri woman selling it by the railroad tracks in town. It’s like a brown sugar taste, smokey, consistency of like roasted pumpkin with fibers. I’ve thought about roasting one one day myself.

エボリスピナが大好きで種からたくさん育てています！ こんな素晴らしい動画をありがとうございます！

dope!

just bought a ton of creme brulees. sick plant . Great interview

Plant nerds like you are my favorite kind of people Thanks for this video!! Every year that I can I go into the mountains to see the succulents in bloom here on the PNW. I also go on hunts for ancient trees regularly. I wish this was the norm not the outlier :/

Thanks for sharing!

Can air conditioning water be used to water the agaves ?

Good video. This is an important topic for agave lovers because a lot of people are terrified of feeding their desert plants. At the outset, I have a bit of a Japanese approach. I use Magamp K with a dash of Osmocote Plus every time I repot. If it's in the pot for more than 6 months, which it usually is, I start using Organics Alive's soluble nutrients. They have very targeted organic NPK powders you can use to dial in your fertilizer requirements very accurately and easily. For mycorrhizae I use Rootwise Soil Dynamics Mycrobe Complete that I get from Build-A-Soil. It's the BEST mycorrhizae inoculant on the market. Period. I used to use Great White until Rootwise Mycrobe Complete hit the market. The world record largest pumpkin was grown using Mycrobe Complete. The pumpkin was 2,749 pounds. To me Great White is a bit too big batch for me, and there's a LOT of fake Great White products on the market that you may not even know you've been using. If you still prefer to use it, buy it directly from the source to avoid getting scammed. When I'm making fresh soil for agave, and all my desert plants, I use Kelp4Less's granular mycorrhizae inoculant. It's just a quick and easy inoculant right there in the soil in the form of a granulated rock at roughly 3-5mm. I'm assuming they coat the outside of it with both endo and ecto mycorrhizae. I haven't been using it long so I can't make any claims, but many people love it.

I dont have means of weighing accurately to work out when to water, my plants are in all sorts of sizes and shapes of plants and I permanently agonise about when the plant has dried out sufficiently to water again as I want to maximise growth during our short summers. I bought a cheap moisture meter but dont trust it. Is there any other way to decide when the soil is dried out enough. I am just guesstimating based on time elapsed, weather and weight of pot, but the weather varies so much from day to day in the Uk where I live it is challenging!

Thank you very much for the very accessible, interesting and voluminous information. I really enjoyed watching the video.

Great info! Can they be hard grown from seed or as transplanted young plants outside, resulting in the tight upright formation? I’m trying to grow a mostly native garden and I’d love to cultivate some ethically but I love their natural growth formation. So is it just a matter of starting them young outside and recreating their natural growing conditions? I live in S. Nevada btw so I assume that shouldn’t be difficult.

One of these days I want to go see cacti in their habitat. Thank you for sharing.

I had never even considered plants could be poached before watching this video. If an endangered cactus lives in your yard would it still be considered poaching to take cuttings?

Those are awesome! Been wanting one for my collection. 🥰

13:59 Is this “bonsai block” from Bonsai Jack?

It still amazes me how tall the blooms are
