Description
Description

The Cabbage Tree (Cordyline australis), shown in its tall form, is a distinctive palmoid monocot known for its single upright trunk crowned with tufts of long, strap-like leaves that arch outward in dramatic clusters. Its silhouette is both sculptural and resilient, giving it an unmistakable presence in the landscape. Sometimes referred to as the “New Zealand Cabbage Palm,” it is native to New Zealand, where it grows along coastlines, river valleys, and open plains.

In summer, mature trees produce immense sprays of small, fragrant white blossoms that are highly attractive to insects and birds, followed by fleshy berries that extend its ecological role. The species has long cultural associations, particularly with the Māori, who valued its leaves for weaving and its rootstock as a food source. Today, its tall form is admired for its architectural quality, making it a bold choice in gardens, parks, and naturalized plantings alike.

Palmoid monocots are a group of monocotyledonous plants that exhibit a palm-like growth habit, though they are not true palms. They typically feature a solitary, unbranched stem topped with a crown of large leaves. These plants are found in a variety of tropical and subtropical environments.
