In the first picture you can just about see the flowers at the top.
It's very slow growing and is in the half-shade of trees either side.
The previous owner of the house had chopped one of the three trunks.
I was wondering if moving it to a sunnier location would be better.

I am thinking this is a Yucca elphantiopes.

Thanks.

Luckily for me it's described as 'impossible to kill', so I'll have a go at
transplanting it.
