If the latter, do you know what it cost? Just curious. Obviously you'd only go to all this trouble and shipping expense for a plant you couldn't find at home.

In my experience bare rooting Yucca does not yield good results unless planted within 24 hrs or so, though younger plants can likely tolerate far more, and some soil was left on.
