Wear eye and arm protection against the yuccas. Best approach is to trim the leaves and then cut the stalks. Patience is the key.
Going to need a chainsaw for the big ones I suspect. Will be hunting pups for years.
Yeah, not a chainsaw. I used a reciprocal saw with a pruning blade.
Second a Recipo. Tough little buggers can take out almost anything.
The 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.
Is a tad beyond a hand saw... I have no bananas so cucumber for scale
Yeah, no kidding. Damn.
Godspeed.
