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

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.

Are you dyslexic, Dub Taylor?

Come on out to the high mojave desert where we have whole forest of Josha Trees protested by the laws.
