It's a Yucca Bacatta...Banana Yucca

[Steve Hinkson]

I like "ask jeeves" too, but in this case he's dead wrong.  I second Stephen's
statement that even an old plant wouldn't have enough trunk to be cut and
resprouted.  I'll also second his guess at Yucca elephantipes, if the trunk
flares a bit at the base.
