How do trim a YUCCA tree
 
Hello,

I have a huge YUCCA tree in my garden that is taking up so much space I cant see half the garden. Does anybody know the best way and time of year to trim this tree?

I appreciate any advice,

thanks

Max

yucca are NOT trees, are you sure of what you have? Or do you have a Josha
tree which is protected by law.

A Joshua Tree IS a Yucca.

Wrong again, Storelard!

By the botanical definition of the word "tree", all arborescent Yucca are
indeed trees.

The best way to trim is to remove the offending branches at their base as
you would any other tree.

The "Joshua tree" is Yucca brevifolia.

Sorry ... But NO they are NOT.

Yuccas don't grow into trees, their flower stalk grows up, blooms, seeds,
and can then be removed, I've done enough of them. Josha Trees are a woodie
plant and are protected by law.

That's Joshua. The name is in the bible.

Look up the definition of tree and you will see arborescent Yucca do fit the
definition no matter what you would like to believe.

You just keep on searching the skies because you sure don't know anything
about what grows on the ground.

Trees protested by the laws.
