    Greetings,

    I have had these two trees for over 1.5 years. They are doing well and growing, however I would like to know more about them, perhaps even propagate them as they are getting too tall for our porch.

    THANKS

    When I google both Dracaena marginata and Dracaena cincta neither one look anything like my tree.

    My tree has a single, thin stalk.

    Your tree is young. Look at the detail of the leaves and the trunk - it is the same. You will have to wait a while before it becomes multi-trunked and branched.
