tobar,just looked at your post,what happened to your hedging in the end?


The jury's still out on that one! Basically

I've been feeding them with an all-purpose Plant Food on a weekly basis during the growing season, & pruning them, so that they get established well & not too gangly.

It does seem to have made a difference so far, but I reckon that one or two more growing seasons will set it on the road to success, and fingers crossed, it will then be a half decent hedge.

Re the kids, the hedge appears to have grown a little big to be an inconvenience 75% of the time to climb over, so hopefully we're a step in the right direction.

there is many different types of yucca some stiff leaved some not and some that look like cordylines,anyway cordylines come from the same family as agaves and yuccas.
