Could someone ID this yucca for me please?

Also, it is about four foot from the house; will the roots damage
the foundations/building?
Thanks.

If it is a Yucca its probably Yucca gloriosa but it is very unusual to
see them so tall and well grown, if it is it the leaf tips will have a
very sharp point (adams needle) if these are missing then I am not sure.


Charlie, thanks for the suggestion, but I've a variegated gloriosa
growing in the back garden; the one in the front garden lacks the
needle sharp tips and is much faster growing.
