Dracaena?

[DAVEinMB]

A friend of mine has this planted in her garden here in the myrtle beach area (zone 8b). It looks like a dracaena to me but if so I'm really surprised it made it through the winter without protection. 

Thoughts? Thanks

Thanks for the confirmation, I'm interested to see how long it lives for

Local differences in each area's climate aside,  these are a fairly easy grow in the Bay Area, inc. some cooler spots though the leaves can fry a bit if grown in a spot that gets all day sun / is hot.. 

As long as they don't freeze to the ground / stay soggy during and right afterwards, have seen specimens push new growth after their tops were fried during a hard frost.

Obviously, if they get too big ..or you want to start new ones,  just lop off a branch ( say a 8-12" length )  and root.. As easy as starting Ti- Plants.
