Cordyline Australis: Cabbage Tree

Cordyline Australis, commonly known as the cabbage tree or cabbage-palm, is a widely branched monocot tree endemic to New Zealand. It grows up to 65 ft tall, with a stout trunk and sword like leaves. It is a characteristic feature of the New Zealand landscape, and its fruit is a favorite food source for the New Zealand pigeon and other native birds. Known to Māori as tī kōuka, the tree was used as a source of food, particularly in the South Island, where it was cultivated in areas where other crops would not grow. It provided durable fibre for textiles, anchor ropes, fishing lines, baskets, waterproof rain capes and cloaks, and sandals. Hardy and fast growing, it is widely planted in New Zealand gardens, parks and streets.
