Hardy Yucca logs (Havant PO9)

these are sections of the trunk of my Yucca plants. They can be grown
in a (large) pot indoors but do best in the garden. The piece of log
is planted in moist soil or compost and will take root and grow long,
thin, green leaves. It will survive the winter and by next year will
have rooted enough to need no protection from snow or sun. They can
grow about a foot a year. Mine have grown over some years to about ten feet. They look rather like a palm tree with a bushy head of leaves at
the top. Old leaves can be pulled off the stem when they go brown with
age. Branches can be used for cuttings. More stems come from the base so you can have several trees if you want. Mine are four to six inches thick at the base. The stem does not go woody so they benefit from being against a wall so the wind doesn't bend them.
