Default Help identify this tree

g'day mike,

maybe leaves not broad enough for yukka family, more like the aussie
dragon tree aka i thin dracaena marginata or something like that and
yes very tough plant will enjoy full sun and take it dry so drought
hardy as well.

pretty much can't kill it with a broad axe, remove all but the newest
foliage you won't need a huge root ball.

also think yukka and dracaena and cordeline all in same/similar
family. except yukka is the yuppy fashion so fetches huge prices.

you could cut the top off the main stem or both if you wished it will
then grow more shoots to amke it more showey and then plant the tops
and they will grow they make excellent potted cultures.
