agave a-goner

i think our front-yard agave plant might be a goner - the week of deep freezing temps did it in....i trimmed all the soft leaves off of it last weekend but it seems to be declining still....

day 2 with snow on it - 02.15.2021

day 4 - 02.17.2021
it's starting to show signs of overload and fatigue

day 5 - 02.18.2021 - getting weaker

day 7 - 02.20.2021
rather mushy, no big surprise since the inside is mostly liquid...

day 20 - 03.05.2021 - finally the day i gave it a haircut, which was not an easy task, and it smelled bad to make it just that much more unpleasant.

after:

today, i noticed it is tilting forward, losing more color on the leaves it still has, and rather weak and wobbly if you touch it.  nothing to do but wait and see.
