Hi there

We are working on our garden and have a very spikey exotic looking plant which we need to remove as we have a little one who is about to start crawling !

We think we might be able to sell it as my mother in law said its worth quite a bit!

Can anyone help!

Not a yucca. A palm of some sort. What is your location?

Might be a Dwarf Palmetto. I'm not sure how many of the palm type plants have that kind of leaf. Some are trees and some stay smaller. In Texas, there is a state park named Palmetto State Park because of the plants growing there. A bit unusual for the location, thus the park. I'm also not sure of how much winter cold they can take without being damaged or killed.

My eyes aren't the greatest but it appears to have tiny teeth along the leaf petioles/stems which reminds me of Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens)

I've never heard of them being worth much money, they are quite common here in Florida.
