Plant Identification
 

We recently purchased a house and it has this plant in the flower bed. I don't know what it is, I have not seen it bloom, only with these seed pods on the stalks. I want to figure out if it's anything special I might regret removing before I yank it out. Any help is appeeciated.

That is a money tree!

actually it is a yucca plant.

:ThumbsUp:

It's like a cactus.

Pretty much sums up our feelings about it. :biggrin2:

Thanks Lew!


Makes sense, it looked like those agave plants, turns out it's in the agavoideae species. Now how to turn it into tequila.....:bigthink:

we have one at my house that's about 4ft tall, i wish it would die but it seems to be the only thing that grows around here.:biggrin2:

Yep, yucca as mentioned.
They have very deep roots too. Dad dug out a large clump of plants in his yard years ago. The fiber root clumps went down about two feet in the ground.
Yes, very hardy and tough.

You may have better luck digging up the house and moving it instead.

If it keeps coming back spray it with some glyphosate, it should take care of it.

So I'm getting the impression I'm not going to be able to just rip it out, rototill over it and call it done...... :biggrin2:
