Yuccas

[davidbr]

These three Yucca plants are all ones I've come across recently as either self-seeded or garden throw-outs, and I could use some opinions on ID

1) Yucca recurvifolia
2) can't help sorry
3) looks like Adam's Needle IMHO.

I might be wrong on some of these but some of the good botanists of WAB might be along soon

As someone who still remembers the injuries sustained in the process of trying to rid my garden of an all-too-successful yucca, which flowered beautifully but was taking over and attacking passers-by, my opinion is RUN!!!!!!

I would say 1 is Yucca gloriosa.

Hmm! - Maybe if I'd have had one of these instead, the scumbag who dug up and stole my 25 year old Acer atropurpureum dissectum at the weekend wouldn't have bothered.

Unbelievable Mike and sorry to here that. It seems nowadays even if stuff is fixed to the ground some people will steal it.
It will probably die as I don't think they like root disturbance
