Thank you Moti for hitting the 'like' button lol lol lol

Meanie, we've consulted this matter with our friend, Will Giles of "The Exotic Garden." He said we should cut it where it squashed/twisted; it will grow again. And, if we stick the (rather big ;-) cutting in the ground, it will root. Good news! Every cloud has a silver lining :-)

Wow! I've never seen a cold-damaged Yucca before.

They are a really tough plant. It should come back strong in spring. Yes, luckily they are very easy to grow from big staked cuttings.

Terrible, isn't it!

This particular one was the tallest of all and it had been kind of all right a couple days before this photo was taken.

Anyway, no worries any more. I'm relieved to learn that everything will be okay :-)

It is terrible! At least the leaves look good.

Yes, the leaves aren't damaged. It's really strange.
