I bet. Here, we have yucca plants. Same pointy leaves w/ sharp barbs,
yet no fruit to make 'em worthwhile. A jab leaves a slight toxin that
itches for hours.

My parents got the bright idea to landscape with Yucca and other tropical
plants back in the early 70's.....in GEORGIA. I hated those things. Try
playing football in a front yard surrounded by those body-peircing
mutha's!

That's precisely why we planted so many sharp, spiny, thorny, prickly
desert plants in our yard...to keep people out of it. The most fun of all
is watching someone get too close to a Jumping Cholla. :-)
