Question 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.

Try spelling it Yukka or Yucca. Unless you mean a tree whose fruiting bodies
resemble work shirts...

maybe as foreman material you might get better luck with it rooting. Maybe
that's King Gee.
Sorry.

I'll stick with King Gees thanks.
I found that all the Yakka stuff I purchased three years ago has rotted
away, whereas the older king gees (4-12) years is still going and worth
patching.

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.

Yep -- pups.

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.
