Yucky Yucca

-

Part of early spring clean-up is to remove old debris, leaves, and trash from underneath shrubs.  In this case, I am removing debris from Yucca.  It's amazing how much stuff you'll find underneath this sharp, pointy plant nicknamed Adam's Needle for a reason.  I took it a step further this spring by removing some of the Yucca, also.  It is too thick, and needs more airflow.  Hopefully, it will look nice early summer when they begin to bloom.
