Look at the root ball. Make a hole about eight inches deeper than the size of the ball. Now, put about six inches of dirt back in the hole. We do this so the earth will be soft and the roots can spread. If the root ball has cloth or string around it, remove the cloth or string. Set the root ball into the hole and fill it with dirt. Walk around the tree to press down the loose dirt. Let it rest for about five or six hours and then water it.
The common name of Yucca brevifolia is Joshua tree. It is a tree-like yucca plant native to the southwestern United States.
The yucca plant and yucca moth have a mutualistic relationship where both species benefit. The yucca moth pollinates the yucca flowers and lays its eggs in the plant's ovaries. In return, the yucca moth larvae feed on the yucca seeds, ensuring their survival.
The plant you are referring to is likely the Yucca plant. Yucca plants are native to North America and have tall woody stems with long, sword-shaped leaves. They are often used as ornamental plants in gardens for their architectural structure and drought tolerance.
There are a number of insects that eat the Yucca plant. These insects include Yucca weevils, Yucca moth, and mealybugs, as well as mites
It's a mutualistic relationship. The yucca plant (Mexico, Caribbean and Southern US) can't pollinate itself to grow more seeds. The yucca moth pollinates the plant and lays its eggs inside the plant. When the moth larvae hatch, they feed on the seeds of the yucca plant, but the plant only lets a certain number grow, so that they don't eat all the seeds. So by pollinating the plant, the moth develops food for its larvae and the plant as well as the moth can survive and continue. And the adult moths emerge from their underground cocoons exactly when the yucca plants are in flower, in early summer.
A yucca tree can grow up to 30 feet tall.

Yucca Elata
No, it is not possible to successfully replant a tree without roots as roots are essential for the tree to absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
The scientific name for the Joshua tree is Yucca brevifolia.
The soap tree yucca (Yucca elata) occurs in the Chihuahuan and Sonoran Deserts.
No, it is not possible to successfully replant a palm tree without roots. Roots are essential for the tree to absorb water and nutrients from the soil, and without them, the tree will not survive.
Yucca filamentosa, the most common type, Yucca brevifolia (Joshua tree), Yucca aloifolia (Spanish bayonet), and Yucca gloriosa (Spanish dagger). Yucca baccata and Yucca glauca, are called soap plant.
Not sure if this helps but there is Yucca Rostrata which is also known as Beaked or Big Bend Yucca and Yucca de smetiana also Yucca Brevifolia or Joshua Tree.
If you need to replant an apple tree, be sure the new hole is at least two feet deep and in place that gets sun in the morning.
After spending two days camping in Joshua Tree, I can honestly say the Joshua Tree itself feels as rugged and strange as the landscape around it. Its bark is coarse, almost like old rope, and the leaves are sharp and stiff—definitely not something you’d want to brush up against by accident. But there’s something about standing next to one that feels powerful, like you’re face to face with something ancient and resilient. During the trip, I ended up putting together a two-day itinerary on Pinerary just to capture everything we did—sunrise hikes, stargazing, wandering through those surreal tree-filled valleys. The Joshua Trees aren’t just part of the scenery—they’re what give the place its soul. Touching one made me stop and really appreciate how alive the desert is, even in its harshness.
The best time to replant a silk tree would be in late February or early March. You can prune the tree a few months before the move.
