I'm pretty sure the Yucca is winning the battle despite my valiant efforts. Over the last 6 years, my struggle kill this evil plant has proven fruitless. Today was the first warm day in months and I decided to go outside and plant some spring bulbs that I didn't get a chance to plant in the fall. I went outside and looked in the garden that was full of overgrown, unkempt Yucca when I moved in. It was like a mini Jungle. There was no other detectable life in the garden other than those plants. I guess the previous owner just gave up. Some of this stuff was 4-5 feet tall with trunks. I spent more than a week sawing and hacking away until I finally got rid of it. Little did I know, it would only be temporary. I've been fighting with the evil plant from hell ever since. When I went out today, I had a relatively large Yucca plant and several babies growing UNDER the leftover snow. We had over 45 inches of snow in the beginning of February in a period of about two weeks and freezing temperatures pretty much the entire month that kept the snow from melting and this plant grew! I know it wasn't there in the fall because I cut the babies down to the ground and spray them with Round up every time I see them. As far as I can tell, these plants are indestructable. I'm going out now to face the enemy and try the roundup in a cup trick. I'll post again if it works. If I don't post again, you'll know I didn't make it back, but, promise me you won't give up the fight. Just because one battle was lost, doesn't mean we can't win the war! :) I found on this site is because I was searching the web for a way to kill the Yucca in my garden I’ve been fighting with for several years.

They are all in one corner. I am on a mission to kill these bastards before the summer. I have a shed that I am going to put in their place so they don't grow back. Thanks for the tips y'all!!! I will keep you posted. I have about 10 of these god forsaken plants in my back yard. They are all in one corner. I am on a mission to kill these bastards before the summer.

My grandmother planted 5 yucca plants 40 years ago. since then she then she has died leaving me and my husband who inherited the house with tons of yucca to deal with. We've dug out countless areas (80 plants and shoots in one section) and three years later are basically back where we started. Have tried burning- they don't burn as you all already know. Thanks for the tips, we''ll be sure to try some roundup. Goodluck all! Hi all,

It was about 5 feet tall and sharp as hell. I have been obsessed with killing the thing for months. Thanks for your help. We are gonna wait till one of the suckers rears its ugly head, and drown its amputated limbs in round-up. It. Must. Die. This is a gladiatorial fight and I'll be screwed if that fucker's gonna get one over on me. We dug out our yucca plant today. It was about 5 feet tall and sharp as hell.
