Relocation of Outdoor Yucca Plants

Question

I have several yucca plants outside growing next to my driveway. The leaves rub against the side of my car when I back out of my drive. I want to relocate them. Is this feasible, and if so, how do I ensure that the plants will survive being moved?

Answer 1

Yes, now is a good time for transplanting, as is fall. They normally take to transplanting quite easily; however, just to be safe, this article will help with preventing transplant shock: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/learn-how-to-avoid-and-repair-transplant-shock-in-plants.htm

After transplanting, make sure you provide enough water. While they are normally drought tolerant, they need some extra water when transplanted.
