    My neighbor gave me a tree but I can't find its name. It has two trunks that have been sliced off at the top and one branch of folage is growing on each trunk. The leaves all green and are 16 to 24 inches long and 4 inches wide.

    No pic. I know this is a popular plant. I've seen them in the past. I even remember watching a show on how to handle if it gets too big. Wrap wet peat moss around trunk and put in a plastic bag. When it roots, cut off bottom and repot.

    It's probably a Yucca Plant or Corn Plant.

    Everything looks like a corn plant but no yellow down the center of leaves. Thanks

    The more I study this on the Internet. The folige is coming from new stalks...not from the trunk.

    there are different types of corn plants... some have yellow and some are all green ..
    look at this link under Dracaena's . im sure you will find your plant ..
