I'll bet it's older than most of us.

It is at Quail Botanical Gardens in Encinitas CA.,(now San Diego
Botanical Gardens)
See: http://www.qbgardens.org/
Note that the huge Aguave tree is their logo.
Delightful place to visit. Lots of Photo Ops.
I am a flower junkie so my favorite time to visit is April-May.
But last weekend, there was an Orchid Show so I just had to go there to
see those spectacular presentations.

Well, I'm 80 and I think that perhaps I might give the Aguave plant a
run for the money I'm not sure how old those plants live to be.
Perhaps some others in the NG are even more senior than I.

You mean you're taller than that cactus, right?

It's not a cactus and probably not an "aguave" either.
It looks like a Dracaena draco, Dragon Tree.

You are absolutely right.
It is a "Dragon Tree"
I stand corrected.
