Winter experiment.
Our Mailbox Wildlife Habitat. There are now three Yucca plants thriving there. This year I harvested some seeds after they flowered. Research indicates it can take a month to a year for seeds to sprout. Following the rather unusual instructions..... We'll see what develops.

Jack!
The seeds are from the flowers. Sounds like the deer got them.
@bigpawbullets Apparently they know plants with seeds. I found a Poppy plant growing from some gravel and was told it is the kind that makes opium. I was supposed to wait until the seed head reached a certain stage before harvesting the seeds. One evening I noticed the seed head was ready and the next morning was going to harvest it. Nope, the deer beat me to it.

Sneaky bastards. The chipmunks & birds do exactly that to my tomatoes.
If memory serves , I believe the native Indians used the root as a vegetable , much like a yam or sweet potato and you could also dig up those roots to separate them and start new plants that way , as well .
