Yucca plant type thing
Discussion
Hi all
I've had this yucca type thing in the garden for yrs (it's not an actual yucca I don't think but that's the nearest thing I can recall)
It sent up 4 or 5, 2.5m spears this yr (not done this before) now the seeds have dropped should I cut the spears off? The seem very solid woody things.
T.Y.I.A.

Entirely your decision, as you said, it doesn't harm the plant. The only one I have anything to do with is at my father's house and the old flowers tend to flop over quite quickly, but when they stay upright, they have a certain triffidy charm

Yes. I've got a small agave collection, those things are totally bonkers when they flower (very, very rare for it to happen in the UK unfortunately). Takes them about 40 years to muster up the energy, then they fire up a stalk up to 8m tall and then they die Gassing Station | Homes, Gardens and DIY | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
