New Zealand Native - Cabbage Tree - Cordyline australis
Iconic New Zealand tree. Looks tropical - but tough as and easy to grow in any position from coastal to swampy, dry and exposed.
Can grow to around 8 metres - among the tallest 'lily' in the world.
Large sprays of fragrant creamy flowers late spring and summer followed by white-blue berries.
Don't be put off by complaints of them shedding their old leaves onto lawns. Plant these in a situation away from the lawn and enjoy them or enjoy the exercise of picking them up before you mow like we do at our holiday home!!
Available in 7cm, 9cm and 1 litre pots
