thanks for the info guys but it looks like this stem is coming from the
centre of the palm so
surely if i cut it out it will stunt the growth ??? as it is not as tall
the other two i can clearly see where it is coming from - really looks
like from the centre and i would say the stem which has the flowers on
it is at least an inch and a half to two inches thick ???? is that
normal ???


I still think that plant may be a Yucca not a Cordyline. To a non gardener
when young they would look identical just that the Yucca would not grow into
a tree and unlike a Cordyline the flower spike grows straight up from the
centre quite tall then bursts into beautiful cream flowers.
