    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.

    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.

    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

      Subject: Regarding sending Yucca sample to study its effectiveness in Ammonia removal from Wastewater
      Dear Sir
      I hope this mail will find you in good state of health and spirit.
      Sir, I came to know that your company deals in Yucca. I want to perform research on Yucca schidigera extract for ammonia
      removal of drinking water in India. There is a large problem of ammonia contamination in river water and treated sewage
      effluent. I want to perform a research study on it. But, I need Yucca Schidigera extract which is not available in my country.
      I request you to send me a little sample (500 gram) of Yucca so that I can proceed for my research.
      I will be really obliged.
      Thanking You
      Yours Faithfully

    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!

    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?

    I just learned from another video that it's the sugar cane of the desert. The more mature stock, just before all the pods fall off, has sweet fibrous pulp like sugar cane and can be fermented into alcohol. Plants are amazing.

    Yucca filamentosa wikipedia mentions, "The leaves, stems and roots of this plant can be used to stun fish.[12] The Cherokee used it for this purpose.[13]" Perhaps cooking the pulp will reduce any toxins, however it's mostly in the outer bark and leaves; and perhaps exposure to using the leaves as a topical usage wouldn't be as dangerous as ingestion.

      @@apemanslab1468 The Yucca (the one in the video) has edible and medicinal parts that are often confused with the root of the Cassavea (Yuca), but otherwise also have toxic components. Even mushrooms are toxic unless cooked, and many plants pose health risks if not properly prepared or understood.
