i'm currently expanding one of my articles in hopes of getting it into the Bushcraft Magazine. through an internet search, i see that some yuccas can be propagated in English gardens (Yucca gloriosa, Y. whipplei, etc.). are there any wild yuccas in the UK? can i pay someone to send my a couple yucca leaves (i would need to know which yucca they come from) so that i can process the fibers? cultivated yuccas are okay as well (but i have more Yucca whipplei and Yucca brevifolia growing around me than i could ever use). thank you!
Yucca in the UK? looking for a few leaves...

Not being from the UK I am not 100% sure, but I believe there are no yuccas over there at all. Alternatives that I know are there is: Nettles, linden, willow bark, cattails etc...

Storm I don't think that we have truly native yucca in the UK, as you say we do have a number of plants that have been propogated. We do have palm trees here (the victorians imported a number of plants that they then planted in common coastal holiday areas).
I live in the South West of England (Torbay) and we have a number of plants that you would probably be more familiar with the names and uses than I. The next time I get a chance I will try and get you some pictures of the local plant life.
