Yucca plant type thing

[OldBuoy]

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.

This is the thing. Not that clear from the photo but the spears tower 0.7m ish above the fence.

Ah, okay. That's a phormium tenax (New Zealand flax). A nice one too

Thank's. Leave spears on or cut em orf? They're quite woody and solid.

You won't harm the plant by removing them (or by leaving them on until spring). Purely an aesthetic decision.

Okay.
