Yucca Tips
Like most plants, the best time for pruning a yucca is right before it goes into its growth period. This will be in early spring. While early spring is the ideal time, a yucca can be pruned anytime. Just make sure the yucca plant gets plenty of light while it is recovering.
Yes. They can upend your carefully curated garden bed, destroy or weaken your fences and are even strong enough to lift up and crack through your concrete. If the roots are close enough to your house and get into the pipes and structure, the results could be catastrophic.
Yucca plants grow by sending out rhizomes from the main stalk. The rhizomes sprout new baby plants, which is why yucca spreads so efficiently that some people consider it a pest. One way of propagating yuccas is to cut the rhizomes with baby plants from the main root.

A yucca plant will send out pups or baby yucca plants that may be leaves from the mother plant after they have grown for about 1 year. A yucca will not grow back the same if you split an individual plant.
A yucca houseplant will have a relatively short life of about 5 years even if cared for properly. However, a full yucca tree can live for at least a couple of decades. Some varieties, such as the Joshua Tree Yucca, can take 50 years just to reach their mature size.
Varies by type. Smaller varieties can be 2 to 4 feet tall and wide, and larger tree types can reach 30 feet tall and spread to 25 feet wide with offsets.
Yucca Facts
While yuca and yucca are both plants with similar names, they are not interchangeable. Yuca is the starchy, edible
tuber of the cassava plant, while yucca is a broad genus of plants that belongs to the Asparagaceae family.

Unlike many house plants, it can cope with a spot in bright sunshine, so is a good plant for a sunny corner where little else will thrive. Yuccas store water at their base, so are tolerant of drought. Yuccas are slow growing, so can take time to reach their ultimate size.
There are nearly 50 known species of Yucca plants, making the genus highly diverse. Each species has unique characteristics including the fruit that it bears, its flower and leaf characteristics, and even what type of climate it thrives best in.
The roots, at least, of Yucca constricta (Buckley's yucca) do contain saponins, which, while toxic to humans, are usually poorly absorbed and therefore do not usually irritate unless you are sensitive or allergic to them.
Yucca (Yucca spp) of the Agavaceae family is a poisonous perennial plant for dogs. The evergreen yucca plant, which blooms in the summertime, contains steroidal saponins that can lead to weakness, drooling, and vomiting in dogs.
Unfortunately, yucca punctures can deliver some of the plant's toxic chemicals, called “saponins” directly into the body sometimes provoking a reaction, complicating recovery and damaging red blood cells in the area.
A native to South America, cassava was introduced to Africa in the 16th Century by Portuguese traders. Since then cassava has grown to become a staple food for most African countries.
Animals. Burrowing animals such as ground squirrels, mice, rabbits and pack rats eat yucca plants if there is no other food around. You may be able to control them by using fencing, live traps or poison bait, but keep poisons out of reach of your little ones.
The price ranges from $95 and upwards depending on the variety, size, and height.
