Cordyline Australis (New Zealand Cabbage Tree) - Single Trunk - 200-250 cm / 6.6-8.2 ft

Description

Cordyline Australis is a widely branched monocot tree commonly known as the Torbay Palm or Cabbage Tree. Torbay Palm is a popular choice for coastal and urban gardens in the warmer parts of Britain because it gradually sheds the older leaves giving it an exotic palm-like appearance. Young cordylines are often used in bedding and container displays and make good house or conservatory plants. Numerous cultivars are available with attractive foliage in shades of green, bronze, purple. They naturally hybridise among themselves and with related species like Cordyline indivisa. Mature specimens of Cordyline australis will flower in summer and produce white fruit clusters in autumn that are a good food source for birds. The plant though is not very hardy at only H3 so make sure to shelter during the winter time. No pruning is required for this plant. The plant itself is prone to certain diseases and pests so keep an eye out for this.
