Okay , heres my story . Two years ago I found a 5 foot + tall Yucca robusta in the trash . The owners chopped off all the leaves and the roots were hatcheted off . I soaked it in a bucket of water for a week because I didnt know how long it was out of the ground and then planted it . It started sending up many leaves that first year . Last year it sent up a 5 foot tall flower stalk but no new leaves . I cut off what I could of the stalk last summer after the flowers died and it didnt produce any seeds. This year the flower stalk rotten and I was able to pull it out . Now my question , its already July and not one new leave has grown . The trunk is still hard and I can see a little green to a few of the old leaves but just on the very bottom and only a few inches . If this normal ? Is my Yucca dead or is there still hope that it will send up new leaves this year ? I hate to see a $500.00 plant die even if I got it for free . Rick
