He has been daily, for the past 2 weeks, spraying our Yucca plants. They are dead at last. We just have to wait & see if it comes back. Now that's one hardy plant. Now there's one growing 70 feet away from the original plant. The root system must be huge. I read one way to get rid of it was to move.[/quote]

LOL I agree...only way we got rid of ours was dig them up and keep digging them up from our yard...LOL the roots crept into the neighbors yard
