Hi,
Can anyone help with some Yucca advise please.
The botton bits of my outdoor Yucca turned a light dead looking colour some months ago. It is wilted in appearance, the leaves now drooping.
Are there any disadvantages to taking the unsightly leaves off, or should I leave them on?
Many thanks
Greg T
Which outdoor Yucca? There are many species and cultivars of Yucca grown outdoors. Some are stemless rosettes and others are arborescent. Many of the arborescent types form a skirt of dead leaves to protect the stems.
In which part of the country are you? It does make a difference.

Or even what country?
You have bigger problems than you think. Cordyline are not hardy in London.
Cordyline australis 'Sundance', despite what the species epithet may suggest, is originally from New Zealand not Australia.
The old leaves should fall off all on their own.
