YUCCA PULL

YUCCA IS A NATIVE PLANT THAT HAS MANY USES IN PREHISTORY TIME. THEY ARE STILL USED AS HEDGE FENCES IN OAXACA BETWEEN CORN FIELDS. YUCCA WAS USED AS A FIBER MATERIAL FOR SOME WEAVING OF BASKETS AND BAGS, AND OTHER ITEMS. FRESH YUCCA HAS THE TEXTURE AND TASTE OF SUGAR CANE, NOT QUITE SO SWEET. I BELIEVE THE NATIVES ROASTED THE ROOT BULB. HAVENT TRIED THAT YET. GOPHERS AND GROUND SQUIRRLS LIKE TO EAT YUCCA, A GOOD AND BAD THING. RODENTS LEAVE MORE IMPORTANT PLANTS ALONE . BUT THEY ALSO PROSPER. THATS WHAT MY DOGS ARE FOR ESPECIALLY THE LITTLE ONE. HE IS A RATTER WE WILL BE TRANSFERING THE YUCCA TO THE OUTWARD BOUNDRIES OF THE FARM. YUCCAS ROOT EASILY, ARE A GOOD SCREEN IF YOU HAVE ROOM. THEY GROW AT A MEDIUN RATE BUT ONCE MATURE CAN BE VERY LARGE. THE FLOWERS ARE HARD AND WAXEY AND CAN BE STRUNG. IT HAS A LITE FRAGRANCE.
