What is the plant

The bark is gray-brown, being covered with brown dead leaves near the top, becoming irregularly rough and scaly-to-ridged closer to the ground.

Additional
The toxic compounds in the yucca are steroidal saponins that produce serious intestinal irritation and even central nervous system effects if a large enough amount of the plant is eaten. Luckily, it had a foul taste and causes immediate stomach upset so it is usually not eaten in fatal doses.
