I picked up a bargain today at the local nursery. A trolley full of slightly heat-affected plants for $50. I calculated their value at around $300. They're barely damaged at all and a bit of TLC will see them right in no time.
There's just one with no tag that I can't identify, and I'm hoping someone can tell me what it is:
The leaves are slightly fleshy, unlike cordylines and similar plants. I suppose I could call at the nursery and ask them.....but that would take effort.
Looks to me like a
Dracaena draco, but I'd wait til the professionals make an appearance before making any decisions!
If it is a dracaena, you're in luck--they're wonderful trees, tend to grow up a certain distance (if my memory serves it's typically 2-3 metres), then branch out to create a nice canopy, growing up to 5-7 metres tall. Only drawback is that it takes decades!
Here's a page with pictures of mature dracaena trees.

Thanks Cynarion - I think you're right.
This was really a steal - it's priced at $95.... so even without the two yuccas, the strelitzia, the large alpinia, the decent-sized palm and the two small cacti, $50 was an absolute bargain!
Most of these are going in the back corner of the yard. I just have to figure out my final landscaping plan before I start planting anything.... Fun!
sure is
I'd say shade grown rather than sun because of the weeping leaves.
Ah, don't we love a great bargain
so happy for you. Hope these plants will bring you joy.
