| Hi David
That looks very nice and tidy, congratulations on a job well done.
I would consider getting rid of the Yuka plants though. Try Treeferns or Cycads. |

| Hi Neville
Why did you suggest to David to get rid of the yucca, is the roots a risk ? |

| Hi Mario,
Apparently they have the power to break any concrete foundation. I have a few in my garden but not near to walls except for one and it will be gone shortly.
I am not sure but I also believe that it is not an indigenous plant. Maybe some of the gents who knows more can put some more light on the subject.
If not mistaken I think Bobby had a problem with one as well.
