When we moved into our house two years ago, there were small
(like a
foot
tall) green plants with spikey leaves in the front garden,

I'd say it's a Yucca. It would grow into a multibranched "tree"
in a
warm climate but you could cut off the top and replant that in a
pot
or move the whole thing while it's still small. Tough as old
boots.

Thanks for that - tough as old boots, so I guess the roots will be
tough
too! Might have to get help with this one!

Actually, I've now changed my mind. I now agree with others that it's
a cordyline.
