Content: You just need to make sure you choose an appropriate variety with cold tolerance and adaptability to freezing temperatures. Simply selecting cold hardy specimens is no guarantee they will thrive in such extreme weather conditions. Heavy snow can damage foliage and deep freezes that are longer than a week can adversely affect roots of shallowly planted yucca. Some tips can help successfully grow yuccas in zone 4. Planting your yucca in a microclimate in your garden can help protect the plant from some of the cold temperatures. Using a southern-facing wall or fence can help reflect winter sun and produce a moderately warmer region. It also reduces the plant’s exposure to cold northerly winds. Do not water plants before a hard freeze, as excess moisture in the soil can turn into ice and damage the roots and crown. In extreme cases, growing yuccas in zone 4 may require more obvious protective steps. Use organic mulch around the root zone in a layer of up to 3 inches (7.6 cm.)
