The winters keep them somewhat tamed. And yes they can b quite the plant! Thanks for stopping by, Denise Les, these are the same kind, but in Pa they don’t get quite so large and hardy.

I'm not certain of the difference between the yuccas that grow up here and the yuccas that grow here in Florida, but one thing I'm sure of. Some of these that grow here would not only discourage peeping toms, but could, and are reputed to, prevent burglars from climbing in your windows, if planted below them. I couldn't imagine how anyone could get over them. These plants are so enormous, and the spines so long, hard, and sharply pointed, that I am positive you could kill a person with one of them. Some varieties are not allowed to be grown in public places, where a person could stumble or trip and fall on them, because one could definitely die from the injury. I'm not kidding. les Hi Denise!
