Re: [GBlist] Question about yucca

["Steven Shepard" <sbtdesigns@earthlink.net>]

It is common knowledge here in South Texas that native American Indians and
then the Mexicans used the root of this plant as a soap, the leaves (spines)
were used as weaving material and the flowers of certain types were used as
food.   It is a interesting plant that will quite literally take over your
property if not controlled.
