Can you replant Yakkas??
I am interested in finding out if there is a way to plant a Yakka tree from an already fully grown one. I have 2 in my front yard that are absolutely going berserk in growth. They are only a few years old and have literally more than a thousand leaves each, and the leaves are even starting to come out from under the ground. I have NO clue about gardening, but heard somewhere that you can use the leaves and plant them in a pot to start a new tree. Is this true? I can't find anything on the net about this. I would appreciate any help. Thank-you.

maybe as foreman material you might get better luck with it rooting. Maybe
that's King Gee. Sorry. Jock "Chookie" wrote in message ... || Try spelling it Yukka or Yucca.

Can you replant Yakkas??
Yep, that's all well n' good about the overalls, terrific, but I too would also actually like to know about the Yukkas. Can anybody please help me on this subject as well? I've got a few that've grown much taller than when I got them about five or six years ago and they've now got tiny little babies right down at the level of the soil & stones in the large long planter tub I have them in. Can I safely snip those off? Do I need to seal the cut end of the parent plant with that greyish plasticised stuff that I've seen on the cut ends of some (or am I thinking of those "Money Trees?") Any particular type of potting mix; I can't even remember what I put in the long planters I put them in years back but gee, they've done very well. Thanks if you can help me as well as "firefoxy."

All I have done is get a hacksaw blade and cut these off at the base
along the main stem of the original plant, peel off the first level of leaves around the new base, and repot/replant and water etc. They haven't died. |

With succulents generally, you twist off the pups (or even just a leaf) and leave them somewhere dry and shady till the wound has dried. Then plant in a well-drained potting mix. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "... if *I* was buying a baby I'd jolly well make sure it was at least a two-tooth!"
