| I know many people regret ever planting the plain green yucca f. but I love the variegation on 'color guard'. I have a nice clump, I dug up a side shoot and replanted it and now it practically looks dead. I did the division early spring but the yucca hates me for it. Is there a better time to do it? Is there some trick to it? I've done it before in the spring and even though the divisions survived it seemed like two years until it recovered, but I can't imagine fall or summer would be better times of year to divide. Any good experiences? Maybe someone did root cuttings successfully and that's better than division? Any ideas appreciated :) |

| Thanks ken, I looked at some of the results and they're all talking about cane yuccas, the tree kinds, but then I finally found one person who said fall was the time to divide the clumping kind. I guess I'll try that and see what happens.... Even though I don't picture the leaves making it through a fall transplanting that well, but it can't look any worse than the divisions made in spring. Weird for a plant that is almost indestructible. |

| This plant is not indestructible. I could not make it grow here. It drowns very easily in winter. |
