When the day dawns we depart for Ikea. Hopefully the non weekend timing makes this a less earsplitting experience than otherwise. Also reading up on removing yuccas, WTF have we gotten into?!?! 🤯

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 tad beyond a hand saw… I have no bananas so cucumber for scale
Yucca of doom more yucca
