    Hello everyone !

    Here's the thing, I have this palm tree like but the lady who sold it to me told it wasn't a palm tree.

    She also told me it didn't needed much water and moderate light.
    I follow what she told me but if you look at the pictures you'll notice he ain't what he used to be, leaves are turning yellowish.

    Am I giving it too much water or not enough ?
    What's the name of this tree ?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated because I love that tree.
    Please note that I live in Quebec and winters are tough here :)

    Thank you very much !

    Looks like Yucca guatemalensis (syn. Y. elephantipes), Spineless Yucca.

    Give it much more light. However do it gradually as a sudden move to
    full sun would scorch the existing leaves.

    Do you think that if I give it a little 20/20/20 it could help ?
    Remember that we are in the middle of the winter here in Quebec.

    The lady who sold it to me said I should wait until spring to give it 20/20/20 but it couldn't cause no harm with the look of my tree, right ?

    No fertilizer until you see new growth occurring.
