    I grow quite a collection of different Yuccas.
    One problem which I always seem to get is a black spot on the leaves. The spots usually form in spring and increase in size, forming large patches which disfigure the plant.
    Any ideas? Does anyone have similar problems?

    No and I dont know, is the easy answer.
    I dont have any of the fancy varietys, only species plants. Gold sword, is that Flaccida, Filamentosa or Gloriosa, or something else?
    Probably OK as long as you dont live half way up a mountain, you dont do you?
