    3 of my yuccas were just getting too big to house now they are about15 years old. They stood about 8ft tall and so it was time to chop them back. Here goes....... phone1015 021.jpg

    So there we have it. No sealing wax needed,the 3 have sprouted well and the off cuts rooted also.

    Now I just have to do the other really big ones next year.

      Hi Wee Tam,

      That was really brave, I don't think I'd have had the courage to do it. I'm glad it worked out for you :)

          Nice tree. I don't think I'd have had the courage to do it :)
