Top Questions

  • What does yucca root look like?
    A yucca plant with root rot will often have a soft trunk, leaves that wilt, turn black, and then fall off, and drooping branches. Ironically, a yucca with root rot from overwatering looks like a yucca dying from not getting enough water.
  • Will yucca roots cause damage to my property?
    Yes. They can upend your carefully curated garden bed, destroy or weaken your fences and are even strong enough to lift up and crack through your concrete. If the roots are close enough to your house and get into the pipes and structure, the results could be catastrophic.
  • Do yucca plants spread?
    Yucca plants grow by sending out rhizomes from the main stalk. The rhizomes sprout new baby plants, which is why yucca spreads so efficiently that some people consider it a pest. One way of propagating yuccas is to cut the rhizomes with baby plants from the main root.
  • Are yuccas hard to remove?
    Yuccas grow very rapidly and have a very extensive root system but with our expertise and persistence, a yucca plant can be eliminated. Read more about our results process of removing a yucca plant/yucca stump removal here.
  • Do yuccas have deep roots?
    Yucca plant roots can go from 2 to 30 feet deep into the soil. These plants come in a range of varieties with different root systems and levels of depth that their roots can achieve. The depth mainly depends on the type of yucca you have planted. In addition, their roots can have a diameter of several inches.
  • Will yucca roots cause damage to my property?
    Yes. They can upend your carefully curated garden bed, destroy or weaken your fences and are even strong enough to lift up and crack through your concrete. If the roots are close enough to your house and get into the pipes and structure, the results could be catastrophic.
  • Does yucca grow back?
    While we can’t guarantee that the yuccas won’t ever emerge on your property again — it can sometimes take several attempts to completely remove the root system — with our expertise, we can help to speed up the process of removing the yuccas from your garden for good.
  • Will yucca leaves grow back?
    A yucca plant will send out pups or baby yucca plants that may be leaves from the mother plant after they have grown for about 1 year. A yucca will not grow back the same if you split an individual plant.
  • What is the lifespan of a yucca plant?
    A yucca houseplant will have a relatively short life of about 5 years even if cared for properly. However, a full yucca tree can live for at least a couple of decades. Some varieties, such as the Joshua Tree Yucca, can take 50 years just to reach their mature size.
  • How big does a yucca plant get?
    Varies by type. Smaller varieties can be 2 to 4 feet tall and wide, and larger tree types can reach 30 feet tall and spread to 25 feet wide with offsets.
