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.

How to cut down a yucca that is too large?
Yes, it's easy to cut down a yucca that's too big. Just cut it off at whatever level you want allowing that it will start growing again from the "cut" point on the original plant stem. It will grow a beautiful multi-head of yucca crowns from the point that you cut it!! You can also get a new plant, from the cut off plant - just leave this piece to callous over; ie, dry out a few days then plant this where you want & water sparingly. It will soon be a new plant with a new root system
