Cautionary tale: if you store harvested yucca stems like I do, be sure to store them in a garage or shed, but not inside your house. A moth type insect can hatch out of it at any time, and here I have pictures of the recent occurrence. Luckily it was in my garage.
Thank you to Joe Lau for this cautionary lesson… I used to have these stems inside the house.
Joe, does Sotol do something similar? I have that in the garage too.
