Hi:

We saw a palm tree while playing golf that we really like. Can anyone tell me the name of it? Thanks.

Looks more like a yucca.

I agree. If you go here yucca trees - Google Search and scroll down about 15 rows, the picture on the left looks like the one you posted.

Maybe Uptown Girl can help. She's the TOTV gardening guru!

Looks like it might be a yucca known as 'Spanish Bayonet'. if that is indeed what it is, it can be extremely sharp to touch, so plant it where no one will back into it while mowing or brush by it near a driveway. They named it aptly!

They use Yucca in the desert southwest under windows as a security measure. Can't get by them - they hurt.

A solution for people cutting through houses to get to recreation centers.

I have a friend who bumped into his when mowing the lawn and lost an eye. They are really sharp

In Florida they are known as a Bayonet Cactus and are a member of the Yucca family.

The leaves (or fronds if you will) are strong / rigid and the needles on the end are also very strong and VERY sharp ..... a combo that makes prone to cause injury to the uncareful. They do make a nice security "fence"

They are also darn near bullet proof in terms of care. They require no additional watering and fertilizing and you can cut them off at the trunk, throw it on the ground and it will root and live!
