Yes, you can cut it. When a Yucca is cut off, it will generally form a new growth at the cut point, and sometimes more than one, resulting in a "fork," or branching. Also, very interestingly, if you strip the blades from the lower 12 inches, or so, of the cut off piece, and allow to air dry a few days to allow the cut or torn spots to "heal," or scab over, and THEN plant that cut off piece, it will take root, and you'll have another plant. I have used this technique many times to multiply my Yucca plants. I have been told that if the planting is done before the cut/damaged edges have dried out/sealed, that bacteria in the soil will get into the plant and cause it to rot and die. However, I'm not sure this part is correct because many times when I have pruned of the tops, and then simply threw them onto one of my compost piles, without any special treatment or help they took root and grew!!!!! Also, if the part you cut off is very long, you can cut it into several pieces, and plant them, gaining several plants from the one cutting.

Can you eat the top of the yucca plant?
Don't confuse Yucca with two C's (such as Yucca filamentosa) with Yuca with one C. They are two different plants. The "yuca" root you find in grocery stores -- no matter how they spell it -- is a cultivated cassava (the wild version is very toxic.) Yucca, two C's, does not have an edible root either. It is basically full of soap. Some above ground parts of the Yucca -- two C's -- are edible, notably the flower petals -- no greenery. The fruits and peeled stems of the yucca -- two C's -- can be edible but they tend to be too bitter even after cooking to eat them. The seeds are edible. The yuca -- one C (Manihot esculenta) - above ground is very toxic. Read more at www.eattheweeds.com.
