Thanks heaps ! I made the mistake of trying to dig one out… never again. Then I saw your video and it works!! Got rid of the 2meter tall yakka in about 45 minutes without all the backbreaking work.
Hi Thank you. They are called pencil pines or Cupressus Sempervirens 'Glauca'. Grow 10-15 metres in height and approximately .5 metre wide. Have a great day.
Hey I installed pencil pines (suppresses glauca) for the height/privacy and low debris and maintenance. I did a video on the full make over of this garden. Go check it out on the channel to see from start to finish. Have a great day. 😀 👍
I have a huge Yucca, stands about 8 meters tall and expands nearly 9 meters wide with many extensions to it and all from one single stems plantes 18 years ago. Unfortunately we planted it too close to our fence and at that height it was leaning over the fence into our neighbors. They didn't really mind as it gave both of us privacy, but a bird nested in it and was causing issues for my neighbor. I started cutting down the ones protruding over the wall to their side but now it looks like crap. So wife is saying to remove everything. We also have two huge cypress trees and about another 8 meter tall camelia tree. If we remove all of that we start with a clean slate, but told my wife I don't want anything that will go over the wall or cause the neighbors issues but I do like the privacy. I was thinking of putting bamboo in wooden pots or planting the type of cypress trees you see in Tuscany which are tall but thin and don't spread out much. Also had a callistemon citrinus tree which I loved but cut it down because of the Asian wasps as it was a magnet for them and my neighbor has 2 little kids.
like your comment, we have 5 very large plants along the fence, sounds similar to yours. Question: ours actually lean over the fence and the neighbor's house. Did you need to brace the trunks to stop them from collapsing on the neighbor's house? or is it a cut it down by smaller sections? Thanks
@@bazz1376 I tied a rope as high as I could and then while wife pulled on the rope, clear of the falling plant, I cut it just like when you cut a tree. They are not as heavy as when you cut a tree so they are pretty manageable. I actually, as wife was pulling on rope, pushed the trunk in the way I wanted it to fall. If you are not familiar with felling trees, do some RUclips research on felling trees. So basically same concept for these Yucca.
@@nas0075 Thanks, exactly what I thought, I suppose the fact that the damn thing are almost water, I was just interested if you took any other precautions. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Hi

Job well done....
Thanks Andy.
Hope you are doing well mate. 😃 👍
Do you need to get any left over roots out to stop any pups coming up?
Hi
Apologies for the slow reply.
No, should be ok. Though as a rule of thumb, I tend to remove all the roots I can.
Have a great day. 👍 😀
This looks like an elephant foot plant.
The Yucca I have is a lot different than yours. Mine has thick roots that jet off in many different directions. Reminds me of ginger. I'm in the US.
Hi
There are over 40 different Yucca varieties. Some much harder to dig out than others. How did you go with yours?
Thanks for the support.
Ben 😃
Good video, but nothing like the Southwest yucca we have in the US.
Thanks. Many different varieties of the Yucca plant. Some can be a pain to dig out. Have a great day. 😀
What plant did you replace them with?
