I just bought a yucca tree and the roots broke when repoting. Will they grow back or will my tree die?

I was trying to put them in a larger pot and the pot was big but the opening to it was small. The tree pushed through the soil and broke the roots. Will my tree die or will it grow new roots?

speed texturing – gimp/agave (linux)


time-lapse of me creating a very basic texture in gimp, with a little help from agave (and mpd, of course). 4:00 shows (from left to right, top to bottom) the albedo, height, normal and ssbump maps. i’m uncharacteristically sober for this one, so i added a drinking song. any pauses are me getting up to get more coffee.

What do you do with a yucca root?

I used a yucca root to make a centerpiece for a banquet table at church yesterday and got to thinking…(I know, hard to believe…), How do you eat a yucca root? Do you boil it, fry it, sautee it? I have never seen anyone eat one. I did lick it while it was raw, really yuck (hence the “yucca”?)!
