Help identify this tree
Can anyone identify this tree. http://members.iinet.net.au/~mbuckler/plant/tree1.jpg http://members.iinet.net.au/~mbuckler/plant/tree2.jpg 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. Mike |

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

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.
