My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Yucca Transplanting

20 years ago

I just tried to transplant a yucca ( one of a group of 3, @24" leaf height) I don't know what kind, it was here when we moved.

I dug up the tap root, but I only got @ 12", the rest was cut by the shovel.

It's leaves have wilted, none are standing now.

WILL IT SURVIVE IF THE TAP ROOT IS CUT?
