Hi, I was recently given a very deformed Yucca. It has two branches
coming out of the same side and keeps falling over. The branches have
lots of green growth but they're all over the place.
I'd like to keep it and make it more uniform. Can i prune the branches
off? Will it sprout new branches? Will removing both branches be such a
shock that it will kill the plant?
Alternatively can anyone offer some guidance to straighten the
branches?
I was told that if I punctured the side of the trunk, that would most
likely cause some shoots - can anyone confirm if this is true?
