This was on the road to La Pena in southern Tamaulipas. Picture was taken in May 2014.

Re: Nolina nelsonii
Anyone know the cold hardiness on Nolina Nelsonii? I’ve read in some places it’s sub 0 F, other places say 0 F, and I’ve read 10F. Also heard some died in the Austin freeze of 2021 and those temps got down to 0.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: Nolina nelsonii
I don’t know of any that died, although the shaded one at Barton Springs Nursery slowly started dying about 6 months later. I had a friend with a Nolina matapensis that died.BigLeonard wrote: ↑Thu Jun 02, 2022 2:49 pm Anyone know the cold hardiness on Nolina Nelsonii?

Re: Nolina nelsonii
It is indeed! So many of my favourite plants are from just a few square miles around there - Agave montana, Agave gentryi, Nolina nelsonii, Nolina hibernica, Dasylirion quadrangulatum. You can see them all in one day!
I'm not sure it is safe any more. Last time I was there by La Joya at the top of the mountain we encountered some paramilitary police in an amoured truck, wearing kevlar armour and carrying automatic weapons. I don't think they were looking at agaves
