Outdoor Yucca Plants

Question

I have never had yuccas before and there seems to be a lot of brown, dead leaves. I don’t know whether to clip it all back and have been told if I do this it won’t bloom. Please advise me on what to do. I live in Zone 4 and do like this plant.

Answer 1

The brown leaves are most likely due to cold damage and can be cut off. These articles should help you: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/foliage/yucca/yucca-plants-care-and-pruning-tips-for-pruning-a-yucca.htm
