we Have Yucca Plants planted around our Concrete Pool. They are huge. I would like to stop the stumps from growing larger. Should I cut the trunk so that they re shute? or what should I do?
Answer: Hi Grant. I don’t know – you gave me very little information and no measurements of the plants or of the spaces they are growing in. If you are worried, perhaps it is best if you get a qualified horticulturist to inspect the area. Good luck. Don
