Yucca is not a single plant but a whole genus of species that originate primarily in the Americas. They contain succulent tissues that make them capable of withstanding considerable heat and aridity.
Because succulents hold so much water inside themselves. they are less vulnerable to the shock of transplanting. If their roots are damaged they can retain their foliage during the stress of repair. However, with such thick fleshy roots, transplanting yucca in very cold, wet weather can cause rot to invade the succulent tissues. It enters through the cut ends of the roots. So it's best to transplant from one place to another during the dry part of the year when cut root tips can dry to a callus and protect the internal tissues.
If transplanting a container grown yucca into the ground, it can be done at any time, but in cooler regions avoid doing so in the depths of winter.

How do you plant the seeds of a yucca plant and have success with growing them?
I am NOT an expert on yucca, but we have a Spanish style home [for years] and have lots of yucca plants. They bloom every year, but none of the seeds have germinated. The way we propagate yucca is to cut off the top couple of feet or so of a plant, strip the leaves from the bottom foot of the cutting, allow the wounds to heal for a few days or a week, and then plant the cutting. The plant from which the cutting was taken will develop a new growth stem, and sometimes multiples, which makes for a more interesting plant. The planted cutting will easily and quickly root and grow normally. So, if you have a friend or neighbor who will allow you to take a cutting, both of you will have pleasing plants. IF you want to take your cuttings from the wild, be sure to check regarding the legality of doing so. Many places where yucca grows wild have laws to protect the plants. As for the propagation by seed, I think I read somewhere, that the probability of successful pollination is very touchy, and therefore the gathering of viable seeds is very questionable. Until a true expert on yucca improves or replaces this partial answer, it'll just have to do.
