Had a bit of a disaster with the tall yucca. It decided to fall over last night, luckily stopped by the balustrade. Now need to decide what to do with it. #houseplants Picture doesn't really show how tall the yucca is.

Lots of green tubes in grass. Each tube contains a native hedge plant and bamboo cane. Larger tube has an oak tree. Bit of wood is for spacing plants.
