@cortcort I haven't yet D: we had some growing wild here last year but I wasn't 100% sure it wasn't a toxic lookalike so I planted these. I might take some nibbles today!

@cortcort I read somewhere that elephant bushes are edible and the leaves taste like apples. I tried a leaf from mine and shockingly did not die. It only *kinda* tasted like apples. Worth the anxiety? Lmao nope. I would be too scared to try a yucca they do NOT look edible lol.
