Morning!

Good job with the zone denial thing. By retaining the foliage on the trunk you are probably giving it good protection from the elements.

These are tough plants and can survive a lot of abuse. The gophers like to plow through the root balls of these shallow rooted plants, but usually just tying them to an adjacent tree lets them re-root and continue to thrive.

I love the blooms on these, but haven't yet figured out how I'm going to cut the spent blooms on some of the taller ones. :-)

This was taken from the second floor balcony as the bloom just begins on this one. And the listing from the PDB:

Dracaena australis is a synonym for Cordyline australis which is the preferred name.
