Yucca plant

Jul 23, 2009 3 Replies

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?


Please see the link below for a pictu

thanks in advance for your help


Do you like to dig? Can you bury it deeper? Put it deep enough, and sideways a bit so only the branches you have are sticking out of the soil and pointing up?

The link doesn't work.
