minus-square@MeanElevator@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglish7•23 days agoWear eye and arm protection against the yuccas. Best approach is to trim the leaves and then cut the stalks. Patience is the key.
minus-square@Catfish@aussie.zonelinkfedilink6•23 days agoGoing to need a chainsaw for the big ones I suspect. Will be hunting pups for years.

minus-square@TinyBreak@aussie.zonelinkfedilink3•23 days agoSecond a Recipo. Tough little buggers can take out almost anything.
minus-square@MeanElevator@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglish4•23 days agoThe stalks and leaves are pretty fibrous. I ended up using a handsaw cause the fibres got tangled in the chain. It’s a fairly soft plant, so doesn’t need a lot of elbow grease for manual sawing.
