The Navajo used yucca for many things. The fruit is edible as a vegetable it is somewhat like squash. The flowers are good to eat too. The root is used for shampoo, it is used in ceremonies such as the Kinaalda. The fiber is used to make baskets, sandals and cordage. The spines are good needles. The dry inside of the stalks is used for tinder.

To properly propagate a yucca plant through cutting, use a sharp, clean knife to cut a healthy stem or offset from the main plant. Allow the cutting to dry for a few days to form a callus, then plant it in well-draining soil. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and place the cutting in a warm, bright location.
