Description
Description

The Cabbage Tree (Cordyline australis), presented here in a medium form, is a striking palmoid monocot admired for its upright, tree-like stature and bold foliage. Often referred to as the “Torbay Palm” in Europe, it is not a true palm but shares a similar silhouette with its tall stems topped by dense rosettes of narrow, arching leaves. Native to New Zealand, the species is especially common in coastal and open lowland regions, where it punctuates the landscape with its sculptural outlines.

The medium form balances between youthful clustering growth and the taller, mature tree form, offering both architectural shape and leafy mass. It is known for producing dramatic clusters of fragrant white blossoms, which later yield waxy berries that provide food for birds. Long valued by Māori for its edible shoots and fibrous leaves, the Cabbage Tree combines cultural resonance, ecological benefit, and ornamental strength in gardens and naturalized plantings.
