Default Plant Ident and advice please

...

Hi,
I would like to move the plant shown as it has been planted far to
close to my neighbours 15ft beech hedge. It has been in the garden
since I moved here 7 years ago and is slowly suffering. I reckon it's
some 3 feet high by 3ft wide. The trunk is about 2 inches in diameter.
Could some-one identify it for me please, and recommend how I go about
moving it to give it the best chance of survival?
thanks in advance
David

Its a yucca.
I'd tie the leaves together to make it more manageable and dig it up with as
large a rootball as possible. Replant in an upright position :~)
Try to move it on a cool day. Water well and it should be fine.
