Question
WHAT ,IF ANYTHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO PREPARE MY 2 YEAR OLD OUTDOOR YUCCA FOR AN ILLINOIS WINTER ?? DOSE IT GET COVERED,CUT DOWN..ANYTHING  ??

Answer
Dear Bob,

If ti was already planted there and has been through a winter, then it should be fine. If you want, you can pile some soil up around the trunk to protect it from the cold. If you can let me know what type of Yucca it is, I can give you a better answer. Please ask a follow up question.

Sincerely,

Greg
