Can someone tell me what type of palm this is?  It was the center plant (I thought it was a spike plant) from a mixed planter purchased at COSTCO about 5 years ago.  It has since grown very large and has been propagated into 3 larger plants.  I live in Wisconsin and bring them in the house for winter but want to make sure I am caring for it correctly.

Thank you.

Cordyline australis (New Zealand Cabbage Tree) is not a palm. There are no strap leafed palms. They get very large over time as can be seen in the photos but can be controlled.
