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. :-)

I got bit by one of those once. So many barbed spines in me they had to
cut it off and then pull the individual stubs out.



Yep, that's how they work! Very painful, too.
