There is more saponin in the roots. You take a small part of root, rinse it and peel it like a potato and pound it to activate it. soak the pulp, it's ready when amber colored. Best shampoo ever.

That’s amazing. I planted one by my pool for an ornamental addition. My husband hates it. I can inform him of the wonderful properties this amazing plant carries.

These plants are ruthless they have taken over my property so if your interested in free yucca let me know

Thanks! I love to learn about plants. I also love that some plants just seem to happily grow themselves.

Get this book!!! Plains Apache ethnobotany. A list of all native plants and how natives used them. Yucca is used for soap. They pulverize the root to make soap. Eat the flower petals, make clothes and sandals from the fibers... I’m a pro gardener and one of my customers is a PhD ethnobotanist. She is in her 90’s now. She is the author. Julia A. jordon. Buy a copy!! List of plants for medicine, dyes, ceremonial, food. Yucca made the cover.

Really?😱we have a big tree close to the house and I noticed that there's five more small ones I don't know how they grew probably from the seeds, I always admire the beautiful white/ creamish flowers.Thanks for sharing ❤️

The roots must be peeled before cooking
The peel contains cyanogens/cyanide

I had no idea! I love Yucca and have many GORGEOUS plants, Thank you for sharing this info. I can't wait to try all them...

To get the soap part removed from the fibers, just boil the leaves. Much easier than scrapping. Then save the fibers.

When your done, just save the boiled water & wash up after doing everything the hard way. 😉
Definitely for washing clothing, skin & Hair... amazing!

I had no idea the yucca has so many uses. Thanks so much for sharing!

I see these "Yucca" plants in the area where I live (sandy soil area), but never knew what they were. Thanks for the information and education!

For years we had these yuccas in our front yard in New York, and also in Madison, Wisconsin, and despaired of getting rid of them, because they are so incredibly hard to really kill, with their powerful and extensive root systems, etc. And they flower so briefly and then have ugly brown seed pods when all is said and done. . . . But wow, such amazingly useful plants. Who knew?

Got 12 stalks this year. It's quite a specimen in PA. Not sure how old it is, over 15.... I just use loppers. Haven't seen ants, but garden spiders will make webs on it.

Chur Bob cheers for the vid, an amazing plant, it thrives here in NZ bro aparntly about 15 years ago they came into fashion as a low maintaince ornamemtal plant, and were quite expensive too, now days we have come to know how easily they can be cut down / trimmed and plonk the of cut in a hole and then another one will grow, often see them on the side of the road out side a propertey cause its common knoledge about the easy transplant, quick tip, do not plant them close to foot path or car port because they are sharp to brush past, they Thrive every where, love the dry n ruggard, and lastly when trimming them, dont be scared to really hack them back, they will grow back, succulent family i belive, this video is great, thanks for the vid, ive come to the conclusion that the Amazing Aztecs 100 percent loved and knew the plant well, chur Bob thanks Dig
