Default Plant identification assistance

I "stole" this plant from beside the dumpster because it looked healthy
and interesting and I'm aiming to identify it so I can care for it,
water it to the appropriate amount & frequency, etc. Please see below.
Anyone? I'd say it's about 4 feet (120 cm) from dirt to top.

It is a Cordyline, possibly C. fruitcosa. If it is C. fruitcosa, it is
a tropical that is a houseplant in most U.S. climates.
